OKAY butJul 06, 2009
This is a one case specific solar heater. The author made a lot of effort and has produced a good book for someone building up a library to improve / build their own house.

Build Your Own Solar Heating SystemSep 06, 2008
I will be using the information from only a portion of this book. I am handy and could build the system but is a much bigger project than I want to get into at this time. The system requires digging a huge pit for a storage tank. I will be using solar panel design for my water heating system, though I will be changing it to meet my needs.

 Basic DIYAug 18, 2008
A thorough cronicle of one DIY project. Good construction details. Weakness is lack of anything approaching engineering or sizing basis. If you want to construct "something" this is adequate. If you want a specific heat output to match a house size this doesn't have it.

Solar Energy: building your own systemMay 21, 2008
The contents of the book are as the title says, for building yourself your own solar heating system. The book elaborates a lot on how exactly do the plumbing and building work but fails to explains some basics. These basics/rules of thumb are however well explained in another book I bought "Solar Water Heating".
I plan to get various offers from companies, select the best offer, based on what I have learned by means of solar heating books, not to build the system myself, so the book was not the right choice for my needs. I would not buy it again.

Good detail for one system typeApr 21, 2008
This book provides exellent detail for the one type of installation that the author chose for his situation. Pieces and parts of the book will provide good reference and construction details for my final project (I especially like the colletor design). However, no other options were discussed other than the author's particular preference (hot air/rock heat exhange in a 6 foot deep, underground, insulated chamber). I recommend this book as a good additional resource for you to determine your own particular installation.
