Do It Yourself 12 Volt Solar Power

Review ------ Michel Daniek, although he might not want to hear this, is one of those people who makes you think that however much you care, and however much effort you make to do your bit for a better world, there is always that extra mile to go. Michel goes that extra mile, but he has the great gift of making it lively and fun. Both the man and this book are a real inspiration. --Chris Stewart, author of Driving Over Lemons If, like me, the thought of ohms and amperes leaves you recoiling in horror at the memory of GCSE physics then this no-nonsense guide provides a useful, back-to-basics approach for the layperson. This is a reference book that will help you trouble-shoot and get the best value for money from what you can find in skips and hidden in the back of the garage. --Mary Lewis, Permaculture Magazine This book is unique. As far as I know no-one else has collected together a full range of the techniques you can use to live happily off the grid with solar electricity. At present it's mostly relevant to travellers and people living beyond the reach of the mains, but the day when it becomes important for all of us may be nearer than we think. --Patrick Whitefield, author of the Earth Care Manual About the Author ---------------- Michel Daniek was born in 1964 in Germany. On reaching 30 he found himself totally dissatisfied with the German way of life. He bought himself a truck and left in search of other ways to live. During his travels Michel experimented with a small solar system in his truck and ever since has used solar energy in his day to day life. In 1997 he finally settled in a new home in an alternative village in the sunny south of Spain. He is now married and has two daughters, and works in many different ecologic and sustainable projects all around Orgiva.
