Additional text

"A well-operating solar array system begins at the design and planning stage, and continues through its entire operating life. Michael’s book is an enjoyable look through the entire solar O+M lifecycle. He combines the theoretical background of what the system is doing, with practical considerations for what can go wrong and how to troubleshoot. This book has something for everyone, from those new to the industry to seasoned veterans."
Paul Grana, Co-founder of Folsom Labs, USA, and developer of HelioScope, a leading solar PV design software
