Solar Electricity Handbook 2012 Edition

Solar Energy may be a wonderful concept. Take free energy from the sun and use it to power electrical equipment. No ongoing electricity bills, no reliance on an electricity socket. ‘Free’ electricity that doesn’t harm the earth.

Generating electricity from sunlight alone may be a powerful resource, with applications and benefits throughout the planet. But how does it work? what’s it suitable for? what proportion does it cost? How do I install it? This best-selling, internet linked book answers to these questions and shows you ways to use the facility of the sun to get electricity yourself.

Now in its thirteenth edition, this book assumes no previous knowledge. It explains the benefits of solar power and therefore the drawbacks you would like to think about . also as explaining the underlying principles, it provides a step-by-step guide so that you’ll successfully design and install a solar power system from scratch.

The website that accompanies this book includes online solar calculators and tools to simplify your solar installation, ensuring that building your system is as straightforward and successful as possible. Readers also can get in-tuned directly with the author to ask questions and obtain further support with their solar projects.

Ninety-three million miles from Earth, our sun is 333,000 times the dimensions of our planet. it’s a diameter of 865,000 miles, a surface temperature of 5,600°C and a core temperature of 15,000,000°C.

It is an enormous mass of constant nuclear activity. Directly or indirectly, our sun provides all the facilities we’d like to exist and supports all life forms.

The sun drives our climate and our weather. Without it, our world would be a frozen wasteland of ice-covered rock. Solar electricity may be a wonderful concept.

Taking power from the sun and using it to power electrical equipment may be a terrific idea. There are not any ongoing electricity bills, no reliance on an influence socket:

a free and everlasting source of energy that doesn’t harm the planet! in fact, the truth may be a little different from that. Yet generating electricity from sunlight alone may be a powerful resource, with applications and benefits throughout the planet.

But how does it work? What’s suitable? What are the limitations? what proportion does it cost? How does one install it? This book answers these questions and shows you ways to use the facility of the sun to get electricity yourself.

Along the way, I will be able to also expose a couple of myths about a number of the wilder claims made about solar energy and that I will show you where solar power may only be a part of the answer.
