Acerca de esta escucha
Converting your home to solar energy is one of the best investments you will ever make.
You’ve heard that installing solar power reduces the value of your home.
Or that your roof will leak if you install solar power.
You may even have heard that if solar panels are imperfectly installed, your house will burn down.
Don’t believe any of it. They’re just not true.
Solar power is the future–newly built houses are increasingly installing solar panels as part of the build.
As for your house losing value, the opposite is true. Houses that have solar power sell faster and for more than the asking price.
And for good reason…solar is safe, green, and reliable.
As long as the sun is in the sky–and all the signs are that it will be for the next seven to eight billion years–your home will have electricity.
When storms or sabotage knock out the power grid, you will be watching your favorite TV show from your favorite chair, eating mac and cheese heated in the microwave.
All that, and you'll save money too.
Of course, how solar power works is complex. All those technical things like inverters, charge controllers, and tie grids can make your head spin.
That’s what this guide is for: to simplify the complexities of solar power and make you the expert you never imagined you could be.
In this guide, you will discover:
- How to take advantage of rebates and federal and state tax credits to pay off the cost of your solar system in seven years, and get free power for the next 18.
- How much solar power you need for your daily household electricity usage.
- The common language used to develop and implement safe designs and configurations.
- What AC and DC power are, and the pros and cons of each.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

If you’re interested in making money with stocks, you’re not alone. A recent Gallup poll showed that nearly 6 in 10 American adults have money in the stock market. But unless you’ve previously worked as an investment banker, you might have better odds of making money at the casino than with stocks. In fact, researchers from the University of California found that 90 percent of retail investors and day traders lose money. Which is why most people think winning in the stock market is simply a game of chance.

What do you think when you hear the word "taxes"? Odds are, you don't associate them with anything good. In fact, it's been said that the only two things that are certain in life are death and taxes - and nobody looks forward to either of them. As an entrepreneur, you know the value you bring to the table. You help create jobs, provide services, and give back with your time and effort. The truth is, by changing the way you approach your taxes, you can transform the way they impact your life.

Ignition! is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise that eventually took men to the moon.

In this smart and funny book, celebrated cartoonist Zach Weinersmith and noted researcher Dr. Kelly Weinersmith give us a snapshot of what's coming next - from robot swarms to nuclear fusion powered-toasters. By weaving their own research and interviews with the scientists who are making these advances happen, the Weinersmiths investigate why these technologies are needed, how they would work, and what is standing in their way.

Historia
Icy, rocky, sometimes dusty, always mysterious – comets and asteroids are among the Solar System's very oldest inhabitants, formed within a swirling cloud of gas and dust in the area of space that eventually hosted the Sun and its planets. Locked within each of these extra-terrestrial objects is the 4.6-billion-year wisdom of Solar System events, and by studying them at close quarters using spacecraft we can coerce them into revealing their closely-guarded secrets. This offers us the chance to answer some fundamental questions about our planet and its inhabitants.

Amazing!
The author did great here. It came in slow on the basics, components, tools, equipment, before the more technical stuff of inverters or conductors. The nice thing is that the pdf is included which was nice to follow along and help me in more technical areas. Great job by author.

Just what I was looking for
I’m planning to do some solar panels on my house and needed specific information to decide if I could do it myself.
The pdf that accompanies the audiobook is perfect. Anyone can read along with the audio and design their own system. The grid vs battery design finally makes sense and the explanation about power and possible design limits was perfect.
