RVer's Guide to Solar Battery Charging

There are two types of reviews. First is the shipping. It was fast and flawless and I highly recommend the seller. The second aspect is the book and its subject. I am finding the information of great help as I begin my research with the idea of adding solar panels to my motorhome. I want to add solar energy to charge my RVj batteries while boondocking and avoid using the generator whenever possible. The book may be a bit dated (copyright 1993) on some aspects due the fast changing world of photovoltaics. For example the charge controller technology and battery charge function of newer devices are much better. However, this is still a great book with a great deal of information in one source.

Great beginners guide to the basics of solar power

The principles of how solar battery charging works never ages, and this resource does a good job of explaining how it works, and how to set it up. A must read for any one interested in setting up their own off grid rv, or even a off grid home.

Dated, but the basics haven't changed.

This book covers the basics very nicely for someone getting started in Solar Power for their RV. I haven't found any newer texts that cover this subject as thoroughly as the Kirkby's have. Other 12 Volt Boat/RV texts I've found barely touch on the subject of solar charging systems for deep cycle batteries.
