Mobile Solar Power Made Easy!: Mobile 12 volt off grid solar system design and installation. RV's, Vans, Cars and boats! Do-it-yourself step by step instructions.

Duidelijk beschreven, had alleen de plaatjes in het boek in kleur gewild. Is een goed naslag boekje. Ben tevreden. Aan te bevelen voor beginners, zoals ik. Geen communicatie met verkoper.

Easy reading and very helpful.

This book is a great reference for DIY people, im starting to build an off grid solar system in NSW Australia and having it down on paper to cross check my items and wiring is awesome. Im using a Renogy 40A MPPT controller and 2 x 100w panels to a cheap eBay 100AH liFePo4, its currently connected to a battery box at the moment for portable power while i build my cabin. It also has a lot of tips and things to remember which is great for someone like me. Well worth the money.

Been watching your YouTube channel which is great, to gain knowledge to put small solar on my shed for lights and garden lights then for our timber garden building which has mains power. Your book has been really helpful and I recommend it to anyone. My only comment is I am in the uk so mains in 240v and I wanted to set up a 24v system. Cos you’re USA based you are 110v and the book is only 12v. It took me ages to realise (as a newcomer to building solar systems) that all your calcs could be halved or doubled for 24v vs 12v. Just a line in the book could have explained that. I also struggled to calculate the charge controller size I needed as I had 4 x 320w panels connecting to a 24v battery pack (2x12v, will be 4). Not sure I found that calculation in the book - 1280w / 24 = 53a. I kept using the amps from the panels to calculate which is 20a so almost bought a 30a charge controller. Highly recommend this book, it’s so good at explaining all the principles, and to be fair the book is for RVs so I can’t complain about not the right info for a heavy duty domestic set up. Will use the book for my boat!

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REVIEW FURTHER BELOW: Since my review of this book, I've completed my solar panel install and it works great! Although I did some things a little differently from the exact approach in this book, overall the book was a HUGE HELP. I continue to recommend it to anyone considering a solar power system. Even if you have someone else install a system, this book will help you determine exactly what you need and how it should be installed correctly. I've attached a couple photos of my installation. Thanks in large part to the knowledge gained from this book my system works extremely well. The book gave me the exact info I needed to build it all myself, and the moment I turned it on I could tell everything worked perfectly. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This book is the best guide I've ever seen for the person who wants to install their own solar power system, but might not have a lot of mechanical skills, time for research and study, and/or money. Will Prowse is an excellent, careful and accurate writer, with a no-nonsense style. He clearly and simply explains the entire process of building a solar power system, from component selection to every detail of installation. Having this book is like having a skilled advisor at your side, walking you through each step from start to finish. I've got many years of experience building and living with 12 volt DC power systems, and I have very carefully studied the options and choices involved with building a solar electric system for my "Class B" motor home. This book is what has finally convinced me that a system suited for my specific vehicle, and how I live in and travel with that vehicle, can be built easily and within my budget. More importantly, this book has given me the confidence to build it myself, and the knowledge to manage and maintain that system. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering building (or simply owning) a solar power system, whether it will be in a land vehicle, boat, or off-grid cabin. This book can get you through buying and building, to using your system, easily and in literally just days or even hours. It's a purchase I will never regret.
