 Good intro to solar power June 10, 2008
I had tried to learn about solar power online, but quickly got lost by wattage, amperes, voltage, batteries, inverters, etc. Then I purchased this book, and it cleared it all up for me! I wish I had just picked the book up first. It was a great intro to solar power (and it also covers solar heating, passive solar, solar landscaping, and even a little on wind and water power too). Highly recommended for those needing an introduction!
 for 3 yr olds only February 16, 2008
This book was a complete waste of money and covered vague basic facts about solar. Not for any body wanting to learn do it your self installs or solar applications. I learned more in elementary school about solar power than this book had in it. A complete waste. Guess I am an idiot for buying it.
 Ok...but most of the information can be found for free.... July 15, 2007

I was really hoping this book would have a little bit mor "meat" to it, but unfortunantly, it merely repeated all the information I found doing free web searches. What I was looking for was a more nuts and bolts book and this is a very generic overview. For example, the chapter on installing solar panels is only 4 pages long and has no diagrams or actual installation tips. The chapter only said to consult a reputable electrician. Um, I kinda already knew that.....

This is a good introduction into solar technology for the home. The problem is that this technology is changing so rapidly that any book is quickly out of date.
