Power With Nature
The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy
$27.95
Skystream 3.7 Grid-Tie Wind Turbine
$6,215.00
Power With Nature
By Rex A. Ewing Rex is comfortable with technology, and conveys that easy confidence to the reader. Renewable energy for home owners is demystified and explained in plain English by someone who lives off-the-grid, loves it, and tells good stories. Rex's clear writing is coupled with extensive drawings, pictures, sidebars, witticisms, and a few bad jokes. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable read.In Part One, you will be entertained by Dog of the Sun and Cat of the Wind ? a primer charmingly disguised as a fable. In Part Two, you'll be enlightened by a wealth of practical, hands-on information for solar, wind and micro-hydro power; plus common sense explanations of the necessary components such as batteries, inverters, charge controllers, and more, needed to create your own electricity and live comfortably, either on- or off-the-grid. In addition to solar, wind, and hydro power, Ewing covers the basics of passive solar design, solar hot water, and water pumping.It has been almost 10 years since we've seen a new book on solar, and the hardware has changed dramatically. Rex is right up to date, explaining all the latest offerings like utility intertie systems and maximum power point tracking charge controls. Wrapping up this easy-to-read handbook on sustainable living is an extensive appendix with worksheets, tables and maps. 255 pages. Softcover. USA.
