Average Customer Ratings:
Producing electricity from the sun using photovoltaic (PV) systems has become a major industry worldwide. But designing, installing and maintaining such systems requires knowledge and training, and there have been few easily accessible, comprehensive guides to the subject.
Now, with Photovoltaics: Design and Installation Manual, a world-class solar energy training and education provider-Solar Energy International (SEI)-has made available the critical information to successfully design, install and maintain PV systems. The book contains an overview of photovoltaic electricity and a detailed description of PV system components, including PV modules, batteries, controllers and inverters. It also includes chapters on sizing photovoltaic systems, analyzing sites and installing PV systems, as well as detailed appendices on PV system maintenance, troubleshooting and solar insolation data for over 300 sites around the world.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
An excellent study text. -
The Solar PV Design and Review text is an excellent source for detailed information needed for real life work in solar energy. It is well written and organized, with exercises to help test yourself.
As with all written material, it will quickly become dated with respect to references and NEC code. But the basic technical information will remain sound.
This text is frequently used in the NABCEP Certificate of Knowledge training.

Do it yourself Photovoltaics -
This book is very easy to read and contains all the information needed to design individual photovoltaic solutions. I'm not an electrician, and only have basic understanding of electricity, but after reading this book I was able to shop for solar lighting solutions and ask the right questions to suppliers.
a book for solar installations.... -
good book, short read for being a installation manual, read from front to back in 9 hours. I did like the layout, but this is a base application book assuming you have no knowledge in almost any electronics. I am a computer science expert so DC current is easy for me, what gets me is this is a book assuming you are going to buy all the individual components and put them together as per individual manuals...I wanted a book with a break down of how to make my own components, ie. Lightning arrestors, charge controllers, or water heater collectors...this has none of that, this assumes you will buy the better quality components from somewhere else, and does not tell you the best ones to buy, for some lawsuit things....
anyway a good read, very on target... worth 30$$$
will

Not for engineers -
Well, I did not read the whole book yet but so far there's nothing new there for me. I do recommend the book for people with no technical background. Those of us that have good background in physics and electricity will not benefit much.
