Wondering where to start reading? If it were me, I’d jump to Chapter 6; this iswhere I get into the PV modules themselves — far and away the most interestingpart of PV systems (in my humble opinion). If you’d rather choosethe approach my children take — which is to decide what you think is bestdespite my advice — flip to the table of contents. There you can breezethrough all the chapters and see what jumps out at you.After you get what you want out of this book, I strongly suggest you find away to put that knowledge into action. Numerous organizations that providehands-on training and experience are available, and these classes arean excellent way to get your hands on some equipment and have access toindividuals who are knowledgeable and eager to help you master PV systems.Then, if you have the means, install a PV system on your own home. Doing solets you run the show and gives you some personal insight into what it takesto install PV systems (plus it provides you with a slightly less stressful situationfor your first solo installation because you don’t have a client or supervisorlooking over your shoulder).Wherever you end up going first in this book, realize that you’re jumping intoan exciting and rapidly evolving technology and industry. No matter whereyou go within the pages of Photovoltaic Design & Installation For Dummies,you’ll be well on your way to becoming involved with one of the mostdynamic and exciting industries you can imagine.
