One of the best ways to get power to remote, off-grid locations, whether in developed or developing countries, is through the use of solar electric systems. This practical guide describes how to plan, design and install solar electric systems in a manner that is hands-on, graphic and technically complete. Highly illustrated chapters cover:

- solar energy basics

- components of solar electric systems (modules, batteries, regulators, inverters and appliances)

- installation practice

- on planning and servicing systems

- water pumping

- refrigeration

- village electrification.

This is the must-have guide for electric technicians and designers, development workers, and anyone who wants to install their own off-grid system.
