Summary: Little or no specific information in the book
Comment: I bought this book because I was seriously considering adding some solar elements to my current home, and I'm currently planning a new home that I wanted to incorporate as many features as possible. Unfortunately, this book did little more than gloss over the absolute basics about solar power. While it claims to include the equations you need to design a solar energy system, that claim is grossly overstated. Repeated throughout the text are reasons WHY solar energy is good for the environment, but the author has done more harm than good by producing a book that doesn't enable anyone to really go out and do it.

Summary: Simple guide to a complex topic
Comment: Solar power makes sense. But learning how to put it to work is a little more complex -- until Dan Ramsey's book arrived. He clearly explains not only the basics of solar power, but also tells how to make sense of the technologies that turn solar energy into solar power. Easy to read. Lots of resources. A glowing foreword's written by the founder of the Solar Living Institute, John Schaeffer. A great read!
