Ok...but most of the information can be found for free....,

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Solar Power for your Home, 2E (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

Way too much of a general overview to be useful,

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Solar Power for your Home, 2E (Mass Market Paperback)
This book contains very little actionable information for people who want to begin installing a basic solar power system. If you've never heard of solar power, then this book will provide a bird's eye view of the concepts involved. However, if you want to learn the basics AND obtain enough information to wire a couple of panels, a couple of batteries, and add the controller and inverter to the system, then you better look elsewhere because you are not going to find that level of detail in this book. If you've ever seen a television show about solar powered homes, then you have no need to read this book.

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.
