If you want to introduce alternative power supplies around the home and garden or even live totally off-grid in your boat, caravan, or yurt and need a practical introduction to solar power and 12-volt supplies, here is an essential guide to the subject.
Not only will it save you money, it will show you how to run your lights, laptop, DVDs, and music, and even your tools and household products, from a simple 12-volt system. Be in control of more of your home’s own energy supply, develop a low-impact way of living, and be prepared for power outages in the future!
Do It Yourself 12 Volt Solar Power begins with a lesson on how electricity works and the main components of a DIY solar system. The author uses clear diagrams and terms. There is, of course, more technical information as the book progresses, but don’t worry, this no-nonsense guide provides a useful, back-to-basics approach for the layperson.
This is a reference book that will help you troubleshoot and get the best value for money from what you can find hidden in the back of the garage. It is also quirky and humorous and shows you how to make a sun-following system using just a bicycle wheel, a pallet, and the motor from a CD player!

Michel Daniek, was born Germany. On reaching thirty, he found himself dissatisfied, bought himself a truck, and left in search of other ways to live. During his travels, he experimented with a small solar system in his truck and ever since has used solar energy in his day-to-day life. Interested in technology, Michel was able to play in his father’s workshop since early childhood, and as a teenager completed an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic in the motor industry. For a number of years, Michel worked as a bicycle mechanic for handicapped people. After leaving Germany and traveling around Europe, Michel became convinced that small decentralized solar systems are the perfect solution for our global energy problems and set about writing Do It Yourself 12 Volt Solar Power to give the most inexperienced people the confidence to take up solar-power generation in their lives. Since 1997, Michel has been living in an alternative village in the sunny south of Spain.
