A GREAT START TO FIND OUT ABOUT SOLAR ENERGY,
This review is from: The Fuel Savers: A Kit of Solar Ideas for Your Home, Apartment, or Business (Paperback)
WHEN, I FIRST GOT "THE FUEL SAVER" IN THE MAIL I WAS A LITTLE BIT UPSET ABOUT THE SIZE. BUT, AFTER READING THE BOOK I FOUND THAT IT HELPED ME A LOT, WITH JUST 81 PAGES THAT HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I NEEDED TO GET STARTED ON MY OWN SOLAR SYSTEM. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BOOK ABOUT PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE YOUR ELECTRIC BUILD BY USING SIMPLE METHODS, THIS IS THE BOOK. IT'S EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. THE APPENDIX IS OUTSTANDING FOR FUTURE REFERENCES.

Some things you may not have heard before that will save you money. Clear, concise, thankfully brief. Nothing long winded, just the facts. Should be on every shelf.
