One watt-peak in a stand-alone system in Africa saves more than 50 litres of oil fromkerosene lamps. This is the right book at the right time.’Professor Peter Adelmann, University of Applied Science, Germany, and Founder of Phocos AG‘Mark Hankins has done it again. Like his prior publications, this book is a practical, useful and easy-to-read design guide for anyone interested in off-grid solar electric systems.’Arne Jacobson, Associate Professor, Environmental Resources Engineering Co-Director,Schatz Energy Research Center, Humboldt State University, USAOne of the best ways to get power to remote, off-grid locations, whether in developed or developingcountries, is through the use of solar electric systems. This practical guide describes how to plan, designand install solar electric systems in a manner that is hands-on, graphic and plete. Highlyillustrated chapters cover:?solar energy ponents of solar electric systems (modules, batteries, regulators, inverters and appliances) ?installation practice?details on planning and servicing systems?rural electrification?larger systems?water pumpingThis is the must-have guide for electric technicians and designers, development workers, and anyone whowants to install their own off-grid Hankinshas over 20 years’ experience of designing photovoltaic systems, managing projects and teachingsolar electricity in Africa.
