THE SUN-TO-STORAGE BLUEPRINT: The Ultimate Solar Hybrid Design & Feasibility Handbook Practical Sizing, Battery Selection and Cost Analysis for Homes, Businesses and Solar Farms Author: Mark Rannel

Stop guessing. Start sizing. Solar and battery installations are booming, but most books are either academic textbooks or vague DIY guides. The Sun-to-Storage Blueprint is the missing middle: a calculation-led, field-tested handbook that shows you exactly how to size, select, protect, price and prove a solar hybrid system — from a 3 kW home to a multi-megawatt solar farm. Written by a practising electrical engineer with 20+ years of experience in solar PV design and mining electrical projects, using real retrofit and microgrid case studies (anonymised) and modern LiFePO4 battery practice. INSIDE YOU WILL FIND: Load analysis, peak sun hours, array and string sizing — every formula worked step by step LiFePO4 battery sizing, depth of discharge, autonomy and generator integration Hybrid inverter selection and Deye-style configuration: CT, zero export, AC coupling Protection, cabling, earthing, voltage-drop tables and work-at-height safety Case studies: 9.8 kWp home retrofit, 50 kWp commercial roof, remote mining solar + battery microgrid Financial feasibility: payback, LCOE, NPV, IRR and sensitivity tables Scaling from 5 kW to 1 MW, microgrid operating philosophy, grid connection and procurement 40 blank worksheets and templates, commissioning check sheets, fault-finding guide, glossary and FAQ Perfect for homeowners, installers, electricians, consultants, engineering students and small-business owners who want practical answers instead of theory.
