This article is the first in a series of what will be a beginner's course in solar electricty. Simultaneously we have instituted a Home Energy Information (www.homeenergy.info) section on our website where you can ask questions of Jeff Yago, the author of this series. Yago is a licensed professional engineer and certified energy manager who has writtten many energy articles for BHM. He has extensive solar thermal and solar photovoltaic system design experience, and is author of Achieving Energy Independence — One Step At A Time , which includes many solar system wiring examples. Those interested in solar electricity will want to save these articles for future review when planning your solar system. I am getting numerous requests from readers wanting very specific guidance on how to install their own solar electric systems.
