Resources

Livingston Consulting in Willits, California : Doug Livingston provided invaluable advice from the very start. I got to work with him for a short time at the Solar Living Institute when it was the Solar Living Center and I was 18. It was awesome.

The Solar Living Institute in Hopland, California : provided a great place to go purchase books and that last minute phone call concerning advice on the charger.

The Solar Electric House by Steven J. Strong with William G. Scheller : I got a lot of my planning and preliminary information from this book. It was very helpful.

Doug Pratt of DC Power : for numerous consulting calls during the installation.

Engineering 305: Appropriate Technology : an excellent introduction to various appropriate technologies at Humboldt State University.

Lonny Grafman : an excellent resource no matter what part of the appropriate technology spectrum you are exploring. If he doesn't know first hand a whole bunch about it, he will know where to send your questions.

HomePower : provided great connections and articles.

I also read ten or twenty pages similar to this one I just made: simple installations done by various individuals around the world.
