A new publication by Lonny Grafman and Joshua Pierce offers inspiring stories of communities coming together to harness their own solar energy, and how you can do it too.

This is a book for people looking to build a better future together, that includes:

• Real life accounts of building solar power in communities.
• Straightforward descriptions of solar components and diagrams of systems, replete with real examples (many from the systems described in the stories).
• Easy-to-follow math that allows readers to size small photovoltaic systems for all types of environments and uses.

Readers of To Catch the Sun learn how to design and build a solar photovoltaic system for:

• A small home in a financially rich country
• A few homes in a financially poor country
• School rooms and community spaces
• Laptop and cellphone chargers
• A tiny home or van life
• Glamping and backpacking equipment
• Emergency supply, e.g., powering an oxygen machine during a power outage
• Isolated loads like electric gates, pumps, greenhouse fans, backup generators, and telecommunications equipment
