Very generic and almost all of the information is in this book can be found for free doing web searches. For example, the chapter on installations is nine pages long and has no specifics. It merely repeats to consult a qualified electrician and I already knew that!
The plus side is that it is well organized and concise.
This is a great book on solar, lots of great references. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in solar. Its a bit lean on actually installing a solar power system on your home. But It is very adequate for anyone interested in having someone install solar on their home.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Way too much of a general overview to be useful
This book contains very little actionable information for people who want to begin installing a basic solar power system.

OK book
Not much in here you wouldn’t already know from just watching TV. It does go on to say that mounting a wind generator to the roof of a house is creates a lot of noise.

Great guide, saved me a lot of money…
…because it basically talked me out of converting my house to solar power. I’ll convert eventually, or better yet build a solar home from scratch.
