Photovoltaics: Design and Installation Manual
Producing electricity from the sun using photovoltaic (PV) systems has become a major industry worldwide. But designing, installing and maintaining such systems requires knowledge and training, and there have been few easily accessible, comprehensive guides to the subject.
Now, with Photovoltaics: Design and Installation Manual, a world-class solar energy training and education provider-Solar Energy International (SEI)-has made available the critical information to successfully design, install and maintain PV systems. The book contains an overview of photovoltaic electricity and a detailed description of PV system components, including PV modules, batteries, controllers and inverters. It also includes chapters on sizing photovoltaic systems, analyzing sites and installing PV systems, as well as detailed appendices on PV system maintenance, troubleshooting and solar insolation data for over 300 sites around the world. Used worldwide as the textbook in SEI's PV Design & Installation workshops, topics covered include:
Photovoltaics guarantees that those wanting to learn the skills of tapping the sun's energy can do so with confidence.

Customer Reviews
Solar Book
Have interest in the solar industry and happy for this book that details installation of the various PV systems
Not for engineers
Well, I did not read the whole book yet but so far there's nothing new there for me. I do recommend the book for people with no technical background. Those of us that have good background in physics and electricity will not benefit much.
The most comprehensive resource book for information on Solar
This is the complete guide to solar, written by the people who train the professionals. Great resource.
