The Renewable Energy Home Handbook

About this book

The Renewable Energy Home Handbook is biased towards the practical and covers the installation of all leading types of alternative domestic energy sources from ground- and air-source heat pumps PV solar electricity generation and solar water heating to bio-mass domestic heating systems and wind turbines. Discussing the pros and cons of each technology it also provides you with a clear overview of whats genuinely required and the benefits to be gained from each system. The author Lindsay Porter is best known for his books on motor vehicle technology making car mechanics and body repairs easy to understand and carry out. But alternative energy and conservation have long been a passion for him and his wife Shan so this manual is very much a labour of love. Here Lindsay applies his commitment to making difficult subjects easy for everyone to understand to the money-saving planet-saving systems we can apply to our homes.
