Abstract:
This book is an essential manual for all technicians working to assist with access to electricity in non-grid rural areas. Produced in a durable paperback edition in two colours and heavily illustrated with photos and charts, it helps the technician to assess his or her clients’ needs and translate these into affordable solutions. He or she will be guided through the sizing and installation processes, as well as general maintenance and servicing of solar systems. Clear emphasis is placed on meeting the clients’ needs and training clients to use their systems properly so as to ensure their longevity.
The author aims to assist technicians to become serious solar energy entrepreneurs through sound technical and economic advice.
This practical guide has been used in a number of vocational technical schools in Africa and other regions Contents:
