CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Solar energy -
Provides the needed basic information to beginners like me in a clear and easy to understand language. Well illustrated.

Great intro for getting a home solar system! -
"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.

got sun, go solar -
i liked this book. i learned some things from it. this book was worth the money (i think).

Great exploratory book. -
I was thinking about making the move to solar so I decided to purchase this book and do some online research. This book does a great job explaining how solar works and what you can expect with respect to wattage from a solar array based on the size of the array, where you live, time of year, etc. It explains the different types of solar installations and helps you decide which one is best for you. It also shows how to pursue local, state and federal tax incentives to help offset the costs of purchase and installation.

Entry Level Reading -
Well written, a good first-step book on home solar power. Recommended for those who are curious. The real work will begin later.
