Solar & 12 Volt Power for beginners: Off grid power for everyone

Good guide

Great layout of how a 12v system works. Information layout to setup the system and how to add on to the system going forward. I am working on my overlanding trailer and will be adding a 12v system because I killed my Bluetti with my new IceCo fridge last fall. I purchased a too small of a Bluetti (even after lots of research - so much bad information out there). This book helps with how big a battery is needed for running this number of lights/fridge. It's easy math. Buy the book and keep it for a reference.

Mon livre préféré sur le sujet. Vulgarise bien le concept.

Very good book on solar power

Easy to understand, great asset to have, however in my research, there is conflicting information regarding, when to connect solar panels to controller, the book states to connect panels to controller than battery. In my research, apparently this is wrong as this damages controller, so connect your battery 1st than panels. Also it does not state inverters have capacitors and connecting this to a system will energise the capacitor and wake it up and this throws out a spark from the battery, you also need to know there is still charge in the capacitor when you disconnect it from the system. You can get around this, I suggest you to have a look at how to do this.As this book deals with 12V only, it may not be a big deal, BUT when you upgrade to a bigger system, then we all know what is possible with electricity.All in all, is the best resource for me as is easy to understand, for dummies like myself, couple it up with a couple of vids and you will def have no problem.

It’s a great introduction my fellow loved it and is starting his solar priject
