Independent Energy Guide
Electrical Power for Home, Boat & RV
Kevin Jeffrey
Energy Independence and more!
With this comprehensive guide you can plan the ideal independent
power system for your home, boat or RV. You'll understand how a
power system works, be able to talk intelligently with equipment
suppliers about your needs, and have the necessary tools to make
and manage your own electricity.
Beyond the efficient production and consumption of electrical
power, this book offers a window to the world of independent
living, a world that encompasses elements such as shelter, food,
health, education and recreation. These elements of an independent
life-style come together in the home, whether the home exists in a
house on land or a boat at sea, or temporarily in a recreational
vehicle.
The author shows that living independently does not mean being
isolated or doing without, but rather having the opportunity and
the ability to take control of your life, to live simply yet
elegantly, and to have the courage to follow your own path when
convention defies common sense. More and more people are realizing
that independence of this nature tends to empower individuals,
strengthen families and rejuvenate small communities.
Independent Energy Guide helps you achieve an
element of independence in your life. It supersedes Boatowner's
Energy Planner, a previous work by Kevin Jeffrey. Here's what
the critics had to say about his ability to make this technical
topic come alive for the reader:
"Kevin Jeffrey has produced an eminently readable
book that enables boat owners to design the optimum system to solve
their energy needs."
—A Cruising World "Editor's Choice"
"Well written, simple and easy to understand..
one of the best on the subject."
—Offshore
"...the hands-on guide that you've been looking
for."
—Dolphin Book Club "Book Of The Month Selection"
"If you're looking for a good on-board reference,
this book is full of information."
—SAIL Magazine
