Learn Sun Power - DVD
How To Setup Batteries, Inverter, Charge
Controller and Solar Panels
If you want to put together a solar power system yourself
this DVD is for you. Although it covers an off-grid system it is
just as helpful for someone who wants to be partially on grid but
would rather set up the system themselves. This is not an overview
but rather programmed instruction. This DVD shows, step-by-step, how
a 650-watt, off-grid, do-it-yourself solar-panel system was set up.
The system partially replaced a 2-gallon-a-day gasoline-driven
generator system and was estimated to pay for itself (based on the
price of gas) in about 2-3 years.
