Product Description:


As oil prices continue to rise, many people are starting to think about how to unhook from the electricity grid. The Renewable Energy Handbook focuses completely on off-grid, sustainable living and rural energy independence.



Author/engineer William H. Kemp, who is a leading expert in small- and mid-scale renewable energy technologies, designed and built his own off-grid home. The result is a house that has all the standard “middle-class” creature comforts while using less than five times the total fossil-fuel energy of the average North American house.



The Renewable Energy Handbook focuses on the unique requirements of off-grid living and contains chapters on energy conservation; heating and cooling; backup power; domestic water heating; wireless communications; photovoltaic, wind, and microhydro energy generation; battery selection; and inverters.



Since its release in 2003, The Renewable Energy Handbook has been a top-selling technology book and is recognized as the best book in its field.



The book is augmented with hundreds of illustrations, line drawings, photographs, and appendices.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Renewable Energy handbook
I believe most topics covered just scratch the surface of the field. One needs a lot more information from other sources.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Renewable Energy Handbook
If you are looking into various forms of alternative energy, this book covers it all, even a few you may have not thought about. A clear non-engineering discription of each method is provided along with the pros and cons. Diagrams along with examples and photos are provided as well.
This book will act as a valuable tool to both novice and professionals.
A very cost effective investment!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - tripe
This book is a web site printed out in large type. Books printed thirty years earlier are more usefull.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome book!
Helpful and informative. Easy to understand diagrams and explanations in plain English (i.e. you don't have to be ultra-tech-savvy to understand it).
