Solar Energy Resource Guide, 9th Edition Available

The 9th edition of the Solar Energy Resource Guide (SERG) is out! It’s an 80-page primer aimed at people new to solar, seasoned professionals, jobseekers, and homeowners and renters who want help determining how solar works best for them.

The SERG includes old topics (basics of PV, solar hot water, and passive solar, how to hire a solar contractor, and financing and payback for solar), and new content on community solar, solar cooking, Passive House, fire safety, back-of-the-module PV technologies, net zero energy buildings, and more.

Thanks go out to SERG sponsors: Quick Mount PV, Intersolar North America, PG&E and its Pacific Energy Center, Redwood Alliance, Backwoods Solar, Silicon Valley Power, and EcoBranding Solutions. (Email info@norcalsolar.org if you’d like one or more copies; they are still setting up the ordering process on their website.)
