Want to get into solar? This book is for aspiring architects, engineers, contractors, and even the inspired do-it-yourself taking their first steps into the growing solar industry. National solar instructor John-Ross Cromer walks you through the fundamentals of rooftop, battery-less solar design, from economic assessment, performance estimation, array layouts, material selection, and other key development issues to consider when approaching rooftop solar design.

Mr. Cromer is a mechanical engineer, master electrician, and NABCEP-certified PV Installer. His nationally distributed solar training programs are based on his experiences in residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar, including a 29kW array roof mount array for continuing education provider Halfmoon Education Inc., used as a case study in this book.
