This book is fantastic. The book has a durable plastic spiral binding, it is only 89 pages long but is packed with good information with little to no fluff. Every paragraph contains the information you need. The book could walk a child through setting up a solar system. The book is well-organized and concise. The order in which the author has laid out the information is perfect, taking you from understanding electricity, calculating power needs, and setting up simple systems to larger systems. It lays out several scenarios from small and simple to large and more complex. He even breaks it down to “Lazy Method, The Minimalist, The Classic 400 Watt, The Off Grid King, and Ultra Lightweight. Great explanations on recommended battery bank size for each of the above scenarios, battery types best suited for solar, wire, and fuse sizes, and installation of same. He takes you through what you must have to what you can do without if money is an issue. I have followed the author on YouTube since I first entertained setting up an emergency solar backup system….he knows his stuff and is enjoyable to watch. I highly recommend subscribing to his channel, DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse. For such a young man, he is the go-to source for all things solar. If you are considering solar, this book is a must and I highly recommend checking out his channel if you are seriously considering doing anything solar.

This book was definitely worth purchasing! The content is very helpful and the book is well written. I learned a lot about solar power and I used it to help me figure out how to install a solar system on my travel trailer. Definitely recommended!

This book is not touted as a beginner book but it is great for a beginner. The title “made easy” clearly is.I am a complete novice at solar but my new RV came with solar so I wanted to know how to maintain and possibly upgrade in the future…this book is outstanding. The author takes a very complicated and detailed topic and makes it easy to understand.So why only three stars instead of four? The book is copyright 2018 and doesn’t appear to have been updated. If it was updated, I would clearly have given it four stars. That being said…the author maintains a website (that is current) and recommends that readers go to the site. The website has videos, detailed instructions and information and even a buyers guide for any and all components needed for RV solar.Highly recommended.

Headline says it all. A bargain at quadruple the price.

I just bought some solar panels for my RV and needed some info on how to install it. This book is very helpful and easy to understand. The author has a sense of humor which I appreciate.

I’m in South Central Texas. After our 2021 week long power & other utilities outage in sub freezing weather. I started thinking about emergency power. Good thing I did, because I was marginally ready for our February 2023 ice storm outages. I’m now in the process of upgrading capacity/convenience for more of these situations.I’ve recently watched perhaps a dozen of Prowse’e videos. He goes quickly through the designs, components, math, etc. But for someone actually going to build a system, his book (in Paperback) is essential.The free Kindle version is nice, but having an actual book, that provides much easier marking, highlighting, notes, more relaxing, and easier to read information is better. At ~$5.00, it’s the cheapest, most valuable component of the DIY power system.Besides solar, he also has some attention paid to wind and gas generators as sources. For DIY systems, the emphasis is on the storage capacity in the system. Sun, wind and even gas generators (fuel) are limited sources.I held back one star because I felt there could be worksheet samples, and a few other detail enhancements included, but for $5, it’s amazing. I suspect that anyone taking on designing & building off-grid power systems, they should be able to build spreadsheet (Excel) estimates and inventory lists. I happen to be a retired engineer (not electrical), so I know about the estimating and other spreadsheets used… but not all of the readers of this book may have that background.I’d have removed just 1/2 Star, but that isn’t available here.After I got my book, I gifted another one to an old buddy jn California, who’s also handy with tools, and may have been thinking of emergency power… considering our nationwide weakening/vulnerable energy production & delivery.

it does what’s supposed to do, no issues on applying/ using and great price. I highly recommend I always do my research on the products I buy here on Amazon so I recommend you do the same there are many brands that offer the same products so be aware.

Wow, it’s so well written and informative. If you’re looking into getting solar for your RV, read this first before you get suckered into buying something you don’t need or is a bad hyped up brand.
