Fantastic book, well laid out, convenient size, invaluable tool for anyone who works in the solar industry. Priced a little high but has been worth it! It contains certain pages in which it asks you to bookmark the page for easy return reference.
Look no further, this is by far the best introduction to Solar PV available. Sean is a solar energy and NABCEP guru. I took his course, read the book and passed the NABCEP entry level exam. Sean is extremely adept at communicating complex information clearly and succinctly. I could not recommend this book or his course more highly.
This book is a must have if you are entering the Solar Industry or are taking the NABCEP exam. The book is very fluid on the complete Solar Process from start to finish. It includes practice questions that are super helpful! I would highly recommend this book over any other on the market!
Been in the pv industry for a few years now and this book has really enhanced my solar fundamentals... apart from that it helped me out greatly with my studying for my nabcep exam.
This book is a must have for PV Solar NABCEP entry level exam preparation. It is very well organized and explains all there is to know to pass the exam. It is the best PV Solar instruction guide I have read and I recommend it to all students and professionals in the Solar industry. This is one of the three books we use as a guide for our study groups and training as well.
Sean's book is like a Bible for the PV solar business. He teaches solar in a way that is easy to understand and with a fun sense of humor.I love the convenient size of his book. It is easy to take anywhere and is a must to pass the NABCEP exam with flying colors!
