GSES Publications

GSES Publications produces educational material and guidelines on renewable energy technologies since 2002. These publications are used in several RTOs and Universities in Australia and by others overseas with our International versions.

GSES Resource Books – Physical Books

The GSES resource books are used in combination with courses that lead to solar accreditation in Australia with Solar Accreditation Australia and in the Pacific Islands with SEIAPI.

Currently, GSES has 9 resource books available:

Australia and Pacific:

• Grid-Connected PV Systems Design and Installation 8th edition
• Battery Storage Systems for Grid-Connected PV Systems Design and Installation 2nd edition
• Stand-Alone Power Systems Design and Installation 8th edition

International

• Grid-Connected PV Systems Design and Installation – International 8th edition
• Off-Grid Power Systems Design and Installation – International 8th edition
• Grid-Connected PV Systems Design and Installation – USA 2nd edition

Other resource books

• Grid-Connected Solar Electric Systems – The Earthscan Expert Handbook for Planning, Design and Installation
• Solar Farms – The Earthscan Expert Guide to Design and Construction of Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Systems
• Solar Pioneers Celebratory Booklet

GSES E-Books

GSES has produced some of the resource books and other titles in e-book format. We expect to have all of our resource books in e-book format shortly.

GSES guidelines

Besides physical books and e-books, GSES has also developed and contributed to many guidelines for Kenya, Uganda, ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and the Pacific. All guidelines were developed by donos funds, and hence, are available free of charge.

Sixteen guidelines were developed thorough the Pacific through Sustainable Energy Industry Development Project (SEIDP). The guidelines are jointly owned by Pacific Power Association (Project Implementation Agency) and SEIAPI and have been developed for the members of the two associations.

Note that these guidelines are not updated often and do not include local standards and codes.

The guidelines include the following titles:

• Utility case studies on RE & BESS
• Solar Water Heaters – Selection and Installation Guidelines
• SCADA System Guidelines
• Micro-Hydro Power – System Install Guidelines
• Hybrid Power Systems (PV and Fuelled generator) – System Design and Installation Guidelines
• Grid-Connected PV Systems with Battery Storage Systems Design Guidelines
• Grid-Connected PV Systems with Battery Storage Systems Installation Guidelines
• Utility-Scale Grid Energy Storage Guidelines
• Off Grid PV Power Systems – System Installation Guidelines
• Off Grid PV Power Systems – System Design Guidelines
• Grid-Connected PV Power Systems – System Installation Guidelines
• Grid-Connected PV Power Systems – System Design Guidelines
• Grid-Connected PV Operations and Maintenance Guidelines
• Energy Efficiency – Residential and Small Commercial Applications Guidelines
• Solar Water Pumping: Selection and Installation Guidelines
