Book excerpt: Caravan & Motorhome Electrics is the totally rewritten successor of the original globally selling Motorhome Electrics. The book's content now also covers every aspect of designing, installing and fault finding of the electrics in fifth wheel and conventional caravans and camper trailers. The book explains how things work, and what they do (not what vendors claim they do). It shows how to dramatically improve charging performance, successfully install solar, and reduce energy draw of electric (especially) three-way fridges. Essentially it provides solutions proven to work, not suggestions that may work. The author shows how the ongoing move fully voltage controlled alternators necessitates dc-dc alternator charging. And that, post 2016, regulations are likely to limit or even preclude alternator charging with new vehicles. It covers the solutions in depth: i.e. solar, plus fuel cell's 24/7 power generation (light and compact yet silent and non-polluting (and now existing in LPG form), needing only a small battery for peak loads. As with all Collyn's books, the content is thoroughly researched, technically accurate, yet in plain English, plus explanatory illustrations, many of the author's own vehicles. The author's background includes automobile research, electronics and large scale magazine publishing (including founding the world's largest electronics magazine). He was technical editor of Australia's The Bulletin magazine in the 1980s - and has supplied Tech Notes to The Wanderer for a now 14 years.

Do you want to protect your family from regular power outages and negligence of local utility? The book "The New Simple and Practical Solar Component Guide" helps you accomplish this by understanding the essentials of building blocks of solar and harnessing solar power. Written by electronic engineers this easy-to-read-and-follow solar components guide demystifies all of the components of a solar power system in a way that anyone without a technical background can understand. The book is useful for a broad audience: technically and non-technically inclined people, beginners and advanced in solar power, and professionals of engineering background. Based on thousand hours of research and experience, the book contains practical solar power information you cannot find and cannot apply by just searching the web. This book shades lights on: - electricity basics related to solar power -solar power system types -solar power system components: -solar panel module types -bypass diodes -blocking diodes -inverters -microinvertes -charge controllers -batteries -fuses -surge protectors/arrestors -disconnects (circuit breakers) -junction (combiner) boxes -cables ... and more. Furthermore, this guide provides you with a serious introduction and practical information to solar power coupled with action-oriented how-to tips and guidelines about selecting, combining and sizing solar components as well. This book, however, is not a complete A-Z guide for sizing a solar power system. Every journey starts with most important first steps and having a solid foundation about solar components is a prerequisite for getting an efficient safe and cost effective solar power system for your home, RV vehicle, boat or business. Without this essential knowledge, every attempt for designing and sizing a solar power system will be either fruitless or contra-productive.

Download or read book Solar Success written by Collyn Rivers and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essentially, Solar Success is about using solar energy to reduce the fossil generated electricity that we use: to reduce one's carbon footprint. Throughout, it stresses the need to reduce what one uses unnecessarily before one thinks about generating more. This can be done by three associated and economically viable approaches: - reduce energy usage by doing things differently - reduce energy usage by using more energy-efficient appliances - change the supply of energy to non-fossil fuel through appropriate technology. The solar energy required is there; 7000 times more energy than the world currently uses is available. It makes every sense to use it and countries worldwide increasingly do. Solar is also affordable. In California, Italy and Japan, solar power now challenges power generated through natural gas and nuclear energy. In Germany, home owners' solar generated surplus fed back into the grid network and all energy generated is paid at close to five times grid electricity's buying cost. Australia's solar take up is high in rural areas that lack grid-connection. Sales of systems that draw from and feed back to the electricity grid (i.e. grid-connect) proved even more successful than expected as installation rebates and feed-in tariffs were initially very generous.In mid 2014 the Australian Federal government virtually ceased paying rebates on the curious basis that the scheme was attracting many more takers than had been expected. There is now however a growing move to go off-grid as electricity prices continue to rise (and feedback payment drop). Knowing what is practicable and what is less practicable with solar enables readers to evaluate what is offered. And to have an often necessary and educated say in the decisions. For those who wish to design and implement systems themselves, Solar Success shows how to do it, and how to avoid the traps. However you finance the system, and no matter where or how you live, follow the guidelines in Solar Success and you will have an economic system that will supply clean and reliable power for years to come.
