Solar Tutorials and Interactive Simulator
We ran across a site that has a good set of tutorials explaining off grid and grid tie solar power systems. The interactive simulator is educational as well. Check it out at http://www.freesunpower.com/basic_advanced.php.

Professionally, I'm an IT Engineer (Executive Level) and Electronics Tech. Philosophically, I'm a Green Conservative, leaning towards Libertarian, and may have been a hippie in the 60's if I had been old enough. I live off grid, with Solar (PV), Wind, veggie oil fueled diesel generator power, veggie Chevy Suburban and have been teaching and living sustainable technology for over 10 years.
