Ward's Cheap Solar Power System
This is a good article on how to setup a very inexpensive PV system. Anyone can do this bit by bit and convert pieces of their house to PV instead of one gigantic project.

I bought a small booklet I was advertised a few years back, titled "The People's Guide to Basic Solar Power" from Power From the Sun!
It is a simple booklet that looks like it was produced in the mans home office. For all that, it does a great job explaining and encouraging people to consider doing projects similar to what you're showing here. We desperately need small systems like this to encourage others to consider renewable energy. |

I've always found BackWoods Solar to be a good source for parts for small systems, mostly because they sell quality stuff and offer good free advice, after all a solar electric system should last you the rest of your life!

Other resources are out there, too
In addition to this site, ecomodder.com and builditsolar.com, I also read Mother Earth News and Home Power magazines. I don't pretend to know vast amounts about the subjects they describe, but they at least expose me to more than if I just continued to watched sitcom's on the tube every night.
Can you tell, I love to read. |
