Our
first video is a
complete course on how to install off-grid solar electric panel
systems . It will take you from zero to full speed on every aspect
of battery-based solar power
systems (grid-tie systems are in a future video). It is taught by Bob Nagy who
has 33 years of solar energy design experience. He is the star
of over 40 technical training videos. It is like having your
own personal tutor walk you through each aspect and detail - in
language you can easily understand. It is better than going to a
live classroom because you can go back and review it until you fully
understand it.
A graduate of New York Institute of Technology, Bob is retired from
the University of Texas and has worked for
ABC news and NASA where he designed Biotechnology Payloads. He has
also built and been chief engineer of several broadcast stations. He
designed and built his own solar home in Texas. Bob's built his first solar power system in 1976. It is still
on-line today. This combination of skills gives Bob the ability to bring the
concepts across so anyone can grasp them quickly....engineer,
media pro, teacher, builder...now your own personal solar
tutor.
You cannot learn how to safely install
solar power systems from 5 minute on-line videos.
Most of what is available on the web is just
superficial coverage of this serious technology.
There are a lot of fly-by-night companies trying to ride the wave of
excitement about solar power.
Don't waste your money on poorly-made videos which offer nothing
more than
you could find on the internet in 10 minutes of Googling. What you
want is in-depth detailed training so
you
can get yourself off the grid and then install systems for others.
That is the goal of this course.
The course took over 5 months to produce and is comparable to a
semester long college-level program.
The difference here is that this DVD course is presented in an
easy-to-digest manner.. You'll understand the concepts because they are described
in several ways, related to the other concepts and then Bob
demonstrates exactly how to do it. Chapter reviews are used to reinforce the ideas just
learned. At many points, Bob stops and reinforces the ideas by
re-walking you through the
exact mental process involved in that element of solar design.
It is a effective and natural way to learn because you come at the
concepts from every possible angle. You'll really understand the
whole picture because you'll know the theory behind it and
the hands-on practical application.
At universities, it's called "Lab and Lecture"..Theory-
then application.
This three - DVD set will give you precision training in each and
every step
of the process. If you can handle
basic hand-tools, you can install solar power systems. By the end of
this course,
you'll will be a skilled expert at installing the smallest to
largest systems. Even if you are just planning to install
a small system for yourself, your system will be commercial-quality
if you learn how to do it this way.
By that I mean, safe, efficient and reliable.
The course assumes that you are a complete beginner.
We've had amateurs and professionals review the course and
incorporated their suggestions.
The only suggestion we didn't take (from two reviewers) was to raise
the price!
Realize that there are very few people who know this technology thoroughly.
There could not be a more in-demand skill to have in the next
decade!

Some of the topics
covered:
How to estimate system size
(energy budget)
How to determine the best panel array mounting place
How to determine the sun's path across the sky
How to Use a Multi-meter to test Voltage / Current / Resistance
Basic Electronics including how to solder correctly
How to configure / design and assemble battery banks
How to configure and install Inverters and Charge Controllers
How to identify and receive every rebate and tax incentive available
to you
How to determine wire gauges, make connections and use Circuit
Breakers
You'll build a system "with" Bob - and closely inspect several
others.
Plus there is a bonus chapter on how to cut 30% of your energy use right now.
This course is information-dense, understandable, thorough and complete.
Several Universities have already bought this course as a video
textbook. If you took
the course from them,
you could pay nearly a thousand dollars. What is great here is
that you can go at your own pace, go back and review it until you
really understand it,
and learn it from a great teacher. Plus you'll save a pile of money!
You'll make back the
cost of the course in the first ten minutes of your very first solar
job. |
