Summary

Converting your home to solar energy is one of the best investments you will ever make.

You’ve heard that installing solar power reduces the value of your home.

Or that your roof will leak if you install solar power.

You may even have heard that if solar panels are imperfectly installed, your house will burn down.

Don’t believe any of it. They’re just not true.

Solar power is the future–newly built houses are increasingly installing solar panels as part of the build.

As for your house losing value, the opposite is true. Houses that have solar power sell faster and for more than the asking price.

And for good reason…solar is safe, green, and reliable.

As long as the sun is in the sky–and all the signs are that it will be for the next seven to eight billion years–your home will have electricity.

When storms or sabotage knock out the power grid, you will be watching your favorite TV show from your favorite chair, eating mac and cheese heated in the microwave.

All that, and you'll save money too.

Of course, how solar power works is complex. All those technical things like inverters, charge controllers, and tie grids can make your head spin.

That’s what this guide is for: to simplify the complexities of solar power and make you the expert you never imagined you could be.

In this guide, you will discover:

  • How to take advantage of rebates and federal and state tax credits to pay off the cost of your solar system in seven years, and get free power for the next 18.
  • How much solar power you need for your daily household electricity usage.
  • The common language used to develop and implement safe designs and configurations.
  • What AC and DC power are, and the pros and cons of each.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Solar Power Insights

This book has been instrumental in providing me with the necessary information as a homeowner who is contemplating the installation of solar power.

It has not only answered numerous questions that I had, but has also introduced me to aspects that I had not previously considered. Despite planning to engage a contractor for the job, I feel more knowledgeable and informed on the subject. It is surprising to learn how the angle of the panels and dust can significantly affect performance.

The book delves into a vast amount of information, yet the author has skillfully guided readers through all the essential aspects while keeping them engaged.

So detailed!

This is not a book that just tells the benefits of going solar but just glosses over the nitty-gritty details. This really dives into the weeds! I was impressed by how much information this book has about specifically how to get this started and actually use solar power. Before this book basically all I knew about going solar was that I wanted to do it...but I had no idea how. Now I know exactly what to do!

Great book

There are a few houses on my avenue that have installed solar panels. I’ve been interested in doing it for a while but didn’t know where to start. This book is a great introduction to solar power. It goes into great detail on how solar power works and how to easily get started, as well as likely costs. It was well narrated and easy to follow
And surprisingly enjoyed it

Must read before installing panels

I would highly suggest that anybody looking to install solar panels, especially if they’re trying to do it themselves, read this book. It is chock-full of incredibly detailed and useful information. Everything from the type of panels to use to the best converters and batteries. It even includes all the specifics of your wiring needs and your maintenance. Doing everything right the first time will save you money, so it is well worth the price of the book.

Great Guide

With the cost of energy rising and the advancement of technology it is about time I started producing my own renewable energy. This guide told me everything I need to know about solar energy and the benefits of living off your own supply of it. The book was easy to follow, explained well and the narrator was a great fit to this audiobook. I recommend this to others.
