This DVD set is a 4 hour, 16 chapter comprehensive course on the installation of Off-Grid photovoltaic solar power electric systems. It is designed to take the complete beginner to full competency.

The course is taught by Bob Nagy who is the teacher in over 40 videos on high-tech subjects. Bob’s bio includes 20 years at the University of Texas, ABC TV, and NASA. His clear and friendly style bring the concepts across so that they are easily understandable. Every idea is demonstrated and shown in actual use. You will learn:

How solar panels make electricity
How to use a Multi-Tester
Basic Electronics
How to solder correctly
Everything about Batteries
Charge Controllers
Inverters
Panel mounting and fabrication
Sun tracking
System estimation
Tax incentives
System Maintenance

Bob will walk you through each decision you’ll have to make when designing a system. You’ll also examine several systems to see exactly how they were done. There is as well a bonus chapter on lowering your current energy use by 30%-40% so you can use a smaller solar system and save money.

This is equal to what you would get in a semester-long intensive solar power course at a university. That said, it is geared to the total beginner and if you can handle small tools, you can become an expert solar power installer. Invest a small amount so that you’ll have one of the most in-demand skills in the coming years. Even if you are only installing your own small system, you will need to know what is in this video course.

You will see a lot of very colorful websites offering solar informational videos out there. Most are just quickly produced over-views of the subject. If you are committed to learning everything about how solar is really done, this is the course. It is a fully comprehensive series at a very low price. The list price is $79. Amazon has the lowest legal discount price on it.
