How much would it cost to put solar-electric panels on your roof and sell the excess power back to the mains grid? And how long would it take for a solar hot water unit to pay for itself? How does a solar-electric panel work anyway? And how much rebate will the government give me if I put solar-electric panels on my roof? These are some of the questions answered — jargon-free — by this full colour book, volume one of Australia’s national guide to renewable energy for householders.
Learn how to understand, cost, and order a complete off-the-shelf, grid-connected, solar power system whether you live in the middle of the city or out in the bush. For off-grid households learn about solar power, wind energy and even micro-hydro units that can power your lifestyle without generating Greenhouse gases. You can feel good about your home energy system, while saving money and insulating yourself from power price rises. Solving climate change is the great challenge of our age and this timely book will give you the practical answers that can set you on the path to a carbon positive lifestyle. 80 pages.
