Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Solar Power Your Home For Dummies:
Not so "illuminating"...: I regret having purchased this book... I should've spent a bit more money and gotten a more comprehensive guide to Solar Power. Someone could argue it's for beginners but it left me wanting more... A book about alternative energy systems should be more detail oriented. Save a tree, skip this book.: This book is not helpful. Author suggests buying freestanding solar landscape lights, using a pool cover, and installing window shades. Not exactly what I'm looking for in a book that suggests I might be able to solar power my home. There is not one mention of what gauge wire I should run, what sorts of ways to properly mount photovoltaic cells on my roof, or where to get some of the ancillary hardware to run a DC current. No, I'm told that I can take out a loan against my house to pay for a contractor or... Very basic information: The book has a lot of valuable content, but is definitely for the beginner. Most of the projects in the book recommend you purchase a "kit" and then walk you though an install. If you want simple ideas, this is great. If you are looking for more in depth information on solar or info on how to create or install a whole house -off grid - system, you should look else where.
