BUILD YOUR OWN SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM: A Practical Guide for Rooftop Solar with Enphase Energy Microinverters

Microinverters (specifically Enphase Energy IQ Series) have made solar panel electrical systems almost plug-and-play, leaving challenges primarily to mechanical design, permitting, sourcing components (mostly from RES Supply - http://tinyurl.com/y7h2559k), and installation. This practical step-by-step guide helps you build the type of system that will most universally work on the majority of North American homes. If you do your own home repairs, you already possess many of the skills needed to build a solar power system. Any remaining skills and basic knowledge about solar can be learned, which is the subject of this guide.

Presented in an eBook format, this guide includes many hyperlinks to view offline documents, installation guides, videos, and even component pricing. As hyperlinks may not work in certain versions of Kindle Reader, "tinyurl" links to external websites and videos are also provided.

The author, René Voss, lives in San Anselmo, CA, where he practices Natural Resources Law for non-profits and serves on the Town of San Anselmo's Open Space Committee. He is a past member of the Sierra Club Board of Directors (1999-2001) and an avid outdoorsman. In 1986, he received his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering and much later, in 2008, graduated from Concord Law School and was admitted to practice law in California. He is a renewable energy advocate, environmental activist, and electric vehicle enthusiast. He designed, sourced, and built his first photovoltaic system in the spring of 2018, which is the subject of this guide, and he acquired his first electric vehicle in the same year. His hope is that this guide will make a small contribution toward helping accelerate our world's transition from fossil fuel consumption towards a renewable and sustainable future.
