2.0 out of 5 stars
Not impressed,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Do-It-Yourself-Solar (Ring-bound)
This book provides only a very basic profile of solar thermal applications. It seems geared more to supporting a high school (or middle school) science project than a homeowner's solar project. The author's forays into general residential construction techniques are not on the topic of the book and they are full of inaccurate and obsolete information. This book was definitely not worth the substantial investment for me.
