Solar/Electrical Books?

[NWOleman]

I need to start a electrical plan for my bus. I am not that great with wiring but I'm going to have to learn. Can you guys reference any how to books on solar and electrical wiring for me? If I can't figure it out and have to hire someone to wire it I still want to try and learn myself up on wiring and how to figure it out.

Basic plan for the bus is solar system to work fridge/freezer, lighting, stereo, and battery charging for it. Heating will be with a Chinese diesel heater so need to charge a battery for that as well. Shore power option to charge or operate everything. I know that is pretty vague but like I said I need to learn up on it so maybe I can at least know the right questions to ask.

Thanks as always!

Check out "RV Electrical Systems" by Bill and Jan Moeller, "The 12 Volt Bible for Boats" by Miner K. Brotherton, and "The Solar Electricity Handbook" by Michael Boxwell for wiring and solar system help. Stay safe and good luck with your project!

It's not a book, but this very detailed and well-explained post was extremely helpful when I first did my build:
