    I would like to start writing a book on "What are the major concerns about the Solar Industry and how to overcome them". if you can help me on sharing your concerns, comments, suggestion and experience about publishing a book that will be greatly appreciated.

    Venkata Pulugurtha -
    I believe your idea may be what 'people' want to read ! So, I would encourage you to use the 'local' information available and 'Go for it' ! You have the inspiration from what I see, and some experience, which is just what you need to accomplish the task ! We here at Maine Solar Energy Association (dadsolar@yahoo.com), PO Box 184, Jonesport, Maine 04649 ... have written a well received publication, 'Practical Photovoltaics', Dr Richard Komp, (aatech, Pub., 1979, Ann Arbor, MI). 
    Dr Komp was the well respected, Director here, until he 'passed away' in 2017 ! The book was available in most libraries (including collegiate) in the electrical engineering and Photovoltaic sections ! I would suggest you find a copy and get some ideas from Komp's book ! My writing has more to do with 'hand's on' solar assembly aspects, using components available 'on-line' from 'excessed' or discarded materials, not in use any more ! Good luck, let me know !
    Thanks, John Burke

    That's correct John, sure I will try to gather more information and will find out the best way to document them, so that it will be clear and helpful for others. 

    Thank you for suggesting me the publication "Practical Photovoltaics" by Dr Ricard Komp for sure I will read this book.
