1: Way too much of a general overview to be useful
This book contains very little actionable information for people who want to begin installing a basic solar power system. If you've never heard of solar power, then this book will provide a bird's eye view of the concepts involved. However, if you want to learn the basics AND obtain enough information to wire a couple of panels, a couple of batteries, and add the controller and inverter to the system, then you better look elsewhere because you are not going to find that level of detail in this book. If you've ever seen a television show about solar powered homes, then you have no need to read this book.

2: solar power
I was hoping for more basics so I could learn more. too complicated for me.

3: OK book
Not much in here you wouldn't already know from just watching TV. It does go on to say that mounting a wind generator to the roof of a house is creates a lot of noise. That's all I got out of it. I guess if you know nothing about solar power its worth a few bucks.

4: the complete idiots guide to solar power for your home
this may be just me but it didn't seem to have the information i was looking for , guess I'm not a complete idiot..go figure

5: Great guide, saved me a lot of money...
...because it basically talked me out of converting my house to solar power. I'll convert eventually, or better yet build a solar home from scratch. But using the information in this guide I discovered that the electricity rates in the Midwest make solar or wind power pretty unattractive in 2009. This guide also helped me to reduce my energy bill, and has paid for itself time and time again. Highly recommended.
