Solar Boom

‘This is a compelling story about solar energy, from its beginnings to the future, uniquely situated in the context of the UK solar boom of the past decade. John shares his personal journey, which has taken him from the black of oil, coal and fossil fuels to the green and clean technologies of renewables. John’s passion for renewables is highly contagious, and his call to fight to save the plant is powerful. His inspiring book is particularly accessible to those with little to no knowledge of solar energy and gives great insight into the what, the who and the why of the UK solar boom. Buckle up and enjoy this solar coaster!’ — Arnoud C Klaren, Head of Projects, Quintas Advisory ‘This is a comprehensive but easy-to-read book about the solar-powered universe. It provides in-depth knowledge, particularly for those entering the professional solar business, as well as detailed insights about advanced testing, well-explained benefits and technical approaches. I’m often surprised when I speak to people in the industry to find how little they actually know about solar and how the sector works. This book will bring everyone up to speed. I would highly recommend it as a mustread for everyone in the utility-scale solar industry.’ — Erik Lohse, solar quality expert and creator of the MBJ Mobile Lab ‘This is a must-read textbook for the utility-scale solar PV industry. John articulates clearly and dives deep into the details, addressing the issues and providing applicable solutions. Whether you are a newcomer to the industry or a seasoned professional, this book is the one you will always refer back to.’ — Ypatios Moysiadis, managing partner, Wattcrop, and postgraduate lecturer, City University
