Sunset Solar is committed to reducing our carbon emissions footprint. We have produced two books, Solar Powered Water Heating – A comprehensive DIY manual and Photovoltaic Tutorial Programme for Schools & Colleges. These publications are only available as digital downloads in order to comply with this commitment.
Solar Powered Water Heating e-book
This is the ultimate DIY Solar Water Heating Manual written by Dr. David Morgan C.Phys., M.Inst.P., is edited to take the reader through the different methods of constructing a solar water heating system using backyard materials through to the more complex pressurised systems. The e-book also contains 38 helpful illustrations. This manual is priced very low just to cover administration costs – the objective is to encourage the readers to install their own solar water heating system to reduce their fuel bills, but more especially to reduce their carbon emissions footprint.
