i have a 5th wheel parked with panels and a generator.i was hoping this book would help with my questions. couldn't find anything to answer them. just brought up new ones.i do have a basic understanding of electricity and how it is made and how to wire it.i didn't see anything that helped with combining solar with a portable generator that helped me.don't take it the wrong way, it is good basic info. i needed specific info.
so some good information. not really any up to date info, in my opinion with a 2022 copyright date, on the newer hybrid systems. allot of technical info on solar cells, wiring, batteries, etc, but most of the info as far as completed or integrated home systems is not there or minimal. for example, one of the biggest concerns a homeowner might have is how to actually hook up a solar system into the existing power company breaker box......transfer switch ? sub panel critical load panel? or direct existing panel hook up.
generic and uninformative. lacked specific details or practically useful info about building solar panels. one can find this information found in this book for free on the internet. useless purchase.
book arrived today. i looked through it and found heaps of info on electrical circuits, formulas (ohms law) and other things electrical. i studied broadcast engineering in college, so i do not need a cream of wheat review of basics. from the look inside, as well as the hoohah on the front and back cover, i expected a few projects to be presented in detail. there is zero of that presented.i recommend buying any other book on solar projects than this one.
already on page 13 there is an error regarding comparing battery one and battery two. the author mixed up which battery has which voltage. this basic error creates a lack of confidence in the book. i will be returning and hope for a full refund.
page two pretty much sums up the entire book. whoever wrote this uses paragraphs to say something a normal person could say with two words. it is the most useless and overly confusing handbook i have ever read in my entire life. a dead monkey could teach you more about solar panels than this useless glued together chunk of paper.
this book does not contain any useful information. it appears cobbled together from things copied off the internet. the book does not even have an author. about half the book contains information so obvious that it would not be useful to even someone who understands nothing about electricity. the information about grounding electrical systems is incorrect and potentially dangerous. it's shocking that anyone would have wasted their time putting this together.
if you know how to do a basic internet search, you can find more and better information. if i'm lucky, i'll be able to resell this book for 10 cents and end up paying $4 to ship it to someone... and yes, i said internet search - google is a noun not a verb, and they already know more about you because of the masses that google instead of using other sources, such as the databases available through your local community college, library, or alternate search engines (although it won't be long until google owns many more of them, too... sorry if this seems like a downer, but it's beyond time to wise up folks - too many of us are like sheep that follow along just to get along...
most of what you will find in this book can easily be found on the web. not to mention putting 1 definition per page is absolutely ridiculous. i don't know if they were purposely trying to stretch it out to 294 pages to make it seem like it was worthwhile but it sure seems that way. glad i borrowed it from a friend and didn't waste my money. much better books out there.would not purchase.
