 Excellent Book February 6, 2009
The Review Guy (So Cal USA)
This definitely in no how to book. The author's intent is to make you more knowledgeable prior to having a solar technician out. He does not to tell you how to do it yourself, he actually discourages it for several reasons which he lists. I think you can build them yourself. But he does show you how to size a system and give you a in depth look at the many different solar possibilities that are available.
I am new to solar technology, and have found this book to be very helpful. It is well documented and gives you many details. The authors try and keep it fun when they can, to keep your interest. Researching this subject on the Internet is very hard to do for solar, its hard to know is which system to use. Without this book, my head would still be spinning attempting to determine who has the best kit.

"Got Sun? Go Solar" provided me with a great amount of introductary information for a residential solar PV system. When looking for information on a $20,000 home investment, $15 is a great start. Well worth it.
