{ "item_title" : "The Complete Solar Power Bible for Beginners", "item_author" : [" Manan Mehta "], "item_description" : "Seven books in one volume, and every number in it is yours, not an example.Most solar guides explain how a panel works and leave you exactly where you started: holding a quote you cannot check, from a salesperson whose numbers you cannot test. This one is built the other way round.The left page of each chapter explains a concept. The right page is where you work it out on your consumption, your roof and your rates. A solar decision made on somebody else's numbers is not a decision.Why you'll love itIt makes you do the arithmetic - every chapter has a worked page for your own bill, roof and tariff.It starts at your bill, not at the panels - the load audit comes first, because sizing an array before you know what you use is how people buy systems that do not fit.Reduction is costed against generation - every watt you stop using is a watt you never generate, store or pay for, and reduction frequently wins.The worst month, not the average - an annual average hides the winter problem completely, and the gap between the two is the real cost of independence.Payback done honestly - including what solar cannot do, which most guides leave out.The quote questions - four specific questions that separate somebody who understands the product from somebody reading a script.What's insideBook 1 - your own consumption and site: reading your bill, the load audit, measuring rather than estimating, your seasonal profileBook 2 - how the components actually workBook 3 - choosing the system type, off-grid against grid-tied, and payback done honestlyBook 4 - sizing the array, on both the average and the worst monthBook 5 - storageBook 6 - safety, codes and permitsBook 7 - buying well, comparing quotes on equal terms, and living with the systemA Progress Map, and a Sizing Record at the back to sign once the work is done174 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, paperbackPerfect forHomeowners about to spend serious money and wanting to check the quote themselvesAnyone weighing off-grid against grid-tied on their own consumptionSmallholders, cabin and workshop owners sizing a system from scratchReaders who would rather do the sums once than trust a sales scriptThis is an educational workbook for planning and comparison. It is not an engineering specification, an electrical design or professional advice, and local codes and permit rules vary - have the final design and installation checked by a qualified installer.About Matchmove StudiosMatchmove Studios is the independent studio of Manan Mehta, who trained in digital arts and animation at Fergusson College, Pune, and went on to an MBA in Finance at NMIMS, with experience in private equity and mergers and acquisitions.
