Book excerpt: [Ahora también disponible en español: https://amzn.to/39Sr9xm] The use of microinverters (specifically Enphase Energy IQ Series) practically makes a solar panel electrical system plug-and-play, leaving challenges 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. This guide is best viewed as an eBook because it includes many hyperlinks to view offline documents, installation guides, videos, and even component pricing. Hyperlinks may not work in certain versions of Kindle Reader, so "tinyurl" links to external websites and videos are also provided.
