Labor and related costs account for more than half of the price of the average home solar installation. But homeowners can save thousands of dollars with this user-friendly manual, which follows the same process professional contractors use. Through detailed directions and step-by-step photos, veteran solar installer Joseph Burdick and seasoned builder Philip Schmidt teach you how to determine the size, placement, and type of installation you’ll need. This comprehensive DIY guide covers everything from assembling rooftop racking or building a ground-mount structure to setting up the electrical connections and making a battery bank for off-grid systems.

      Starred review from July 1, 2017

      Burdick, president of a renewable energy company, and Schmidt, an experienced author (PlyDesign) and carpenter, carefully outline practical considerations and basics of home solar systems. Rather than trying to convince readers of the benefits of solar, this book assumes they are already onboard and just need help to make it happen. It sets itself apart from other recent titles on solar by focusing on the basics of installation, a topic severely lacking in the field. Be it a roof installation or ground-mounted design, this book focuses on what a confident do-it-yourselfer can do, and what should be left to the professionals. Great instruction and tips are included. For a more general approach, Paul Scheckel's The Homeowner's Energy Handbook covers an array of alternative energy resources. VERDICT An important manual on home solar systems, offering solid advice and instruction.
