Publisher's summary

Converting your home to solar energy is one of the best investments you will ever make.

You’ve heard that installing solar power reduces the value of your home.

Or that your roof will leak if you install solar power.

You may even have heard that if solar panels are imperfectly installed, your house will burn down.

Don’t believe any of it. They’re just not true.

Solar power is the future–newly built houses are increasingly installing solar panels as part of the build.

As for your house losing value, the opposite is true. Houses that have solar power sell faster and for more than the asking price.

And for good reason…solar is safe, green, and reliable.

As long as the sun is in the sky–and all the signs are that it will be for the next seven to eight billion years–your home will have electricity.

When storms or sabotage knock out the power grid, you will be watching your favorite TV show from your favorite chair, eating mac and cheese heated in the microwave.

All that, and you'll save money too.

Of course, how solar power works is complex. All those technical things like inverters, charge controllers, and tie grids can make your head spin.

That’s what this guide is for: to simplify the complexities of solar power and make you the expert you never imagined you could be.

In this guide, you will discover:

• How to take advantage of rebates and federal and state tax credits to pay off the cost of your solar system in seven years, and get free power for the next 18.
• How much solar power you need for your daily household electricity usage.
• The common language used to develop and implement safe designs and configurations.
• What AC and DC power are, and the pros and cons of each.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
