 Great book! April 7, 2008

I just recently moved into a solar house, and this book has given me a new understanding and appreciation of solar electricity. Fun to read and easy for a beginner to understand... highly recommended!

If you want a book that talks in generalities and gives NO practical information, then this the book for you. I tried to send it back, but they wouldn't take it. Don't waste your money. Is that clear enough?

This book put into easy to read wording that I could understand. I read it very quickly and enjoyed it. I feel a lot more educated and knowledgable about solar power systems.
Good book for novices - like me! June 8, 2005

This book is silly and that is what helps me past the confusion of amps and watts and volts and cables. This is my most recent education in electrical engineering since fifth grade (and fixing some lamps and switches) and I am so glad I got this book and the installation manual.
Want to avoid mistakes. Some people may not like silly stories and humorous nonfiction. But for some of us, the humor both is illustrative, gives time to digest the technical ideas.
Great beginning book, does not scare me away from solar electric and that's exactly what I hoped for.

I red this book in Germany where I live, and, even though some aspects of this book are based on conditions in the USA, I highly recommend this book to everybody on this planet. One can tell the author's love of the subject and his skill to write just from the heart on a very technical subject. The stories and jokes in the book helped me to understand the subject and, even if I could not follow some technical detail, the point he tried to make still came across. I now know more about the subject of solar energy and - what is equally important - I look at the world and its resources with a different eye. This is truely and "Easy Guide". Keep cracking Adi,
thanks for this wonderful book.
