Contents:
1. Preface -- 2. Understanding Energy and Power -- 3. Solar Energy -- 4. Wind Energy -- 5. Voltage, Current and resistance -- 6. Direct versus Alternating current -- 7. Wind and Solar Electric Power systems -- 8. Dealing with Lightning -- 9. Charge Controllers -- 10. Battery Banks -- 11. DC to AC Inverters -- 12 Wiring -- 13. My off Grid Wind and Solar System -- 14. An example Deep-well Solar Water Pump -- 15. Mounting Solar Arrays/Panels -- 16. A Mathematical model for solar energy collection -- 17. Solar Water heaters -- 18. Solar Space Heaters -- 19. Micro-Hydro Power -- 20. Power from wood (Gasifiers) -- 21. EMP Susceptibility -- 22. Green New Deal: is it Feasible? -- 23. Final Comments -- 24. References.
Summary: You'll learn the difference between energy and power, how power is related to current and voltage, and how current is related to voltage and resistance. You'll learn about all the different parts of an alternative energy system, what their purpose is, and how they are wired. You'll also lean how to calculate the size system you need. Finally, you'll even learn where to place your solar array and what tilt angle to use. If you already have the knack for these things, this may be the only book you need before you start building.
