 Good beginer book, December 18, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
its meant to be the first book you would read if you are considering solar power for your home or just learning more about solar energy. and thats exactly what it is, very basic, no jargon, down to earth.
Very Good Basic Overview November 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book gives a very good basic overview of the technology available and how it works. My only complaint is that it seems geared towards cooler climates. There is absolutely no information in the book about really hot climates, e.g., how does extreme heat affect PV efficiency? Not everyone lives in upstate New York or Northern California.
 Best I've read on solar energy November 16, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've read many books on solar energy and always ended up skimming over the technical explanations because they were so complex. This book explains the basics in a clear, entertaining, and understandable way. It also is up to date, providing guidance on the different technologies available now.
Got Sun? Go Solar.... a grerat foundation resource September 22, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
After cruising the web for Solar info, I decided on this as my first solar personal library resource, and am happy I did. After a full career in computer systems hungry for power, I had little background knowledge of electricity, current, even some helpful history. This book has provided me with just the right amount of background on (residential) electricity for me to learn about PV systems, what they can provide, and where to start.
This book is well written and an easy and fast read, informative without being overly or self-rightously technical, gives web and other sources to follow, and adds some humor and anecdotes to keep your interest high.
I like doing my own projects, intending to follow up with more technical design and installation books and web resources, and an online tutorial, culminating with my mostly-self designed rural grid-tie PV solar system.
I found this book to be a great motivator toward that goal.
A very good review of "how to" switch to Solar Power May 17, 2007

A very good technical discussion in lay language of the solar and wind systems.
