Renewable Energy for Homeowners Just Got Easier (April 2003)

PixyJack Press announces the release of their new book, Power With Nature: Solar and Wind Energy Demystified, by Rex A. Ewing. At long last, renewable energy for homeowners is demystified and explained in plain English by someone who lives off-the-grid and loves it.
    Author Rex Ewing says, "Everyone knows that sunlight and wind can be harnessed to make electricity, but few understand the practical applications of using these free and natural sources of energy to power a home. In Power With Nature, readers will learn how to free themselves from the power companies and live well anywhere."
    Ewing gives practical, hands-on information about solar, wind and micro-hydro power sources, grid intertie and off-grid systems, and all components (photovoltaic modules, wind turbines, batteries, inverters, charge controllers) needed for self-sufficient yet comfortable living. In addition to solar electric power, Ewing discusses passive solar techniques, solar hot water heating, and options for pumping water. Wrapping up this book is a comprehensive appendix of worksheets, tables and maps, and numerous sources for further research.
    The renewable energy industry is thrilled to have this resource. Doug Pratt of Real Goods says, "Power With Nature is a much needed, up-to-date book on renewable energy." Ron Larson, Vice Chair of the American Solar Energy Society writes, "The clear writing of Rex should help others follow their self-educational steps." Larry Cooper of Kyocera Solar, Inc. says, "I have read virtually every book that has been written about using solar and wind to power your home and this book is one of the best I have ever read on the subject."
    Power With Nature ($24.95, ISBN 0-9658098-5-4) is available at bookstores, renewable energy suppliers, and from www.PixyJackPress.com
