GOOD READSep 04, 2008
By John Renshaw
THIS BOOK IS A GOOD READ. IT COVERS SOME OF WHAT I'VE ALREADY READ IN OTHER BOOKS, BUT I'M NOT DONE YET. I BELIEVE WHAT IS COMING UP IN THE BOOK IS MORE RELATIVE TO INSTALLING AND SETTING UP SYSTEMS THAN WHAT I'VE SEEN IN OTHER BOOKS SO FAR. ALSO THERE ARE GOOD POINTERS ON OWNING A SOLAR BUSINESS. I'D RECOMMEND IT TO THOSE LOOKING TO LEARN ABOUT SOLAR BUSINESS AND BASICS ON SYSTEM DESIGN.

Excellent Overview of Solar PV InstallationsMay 25, 2009
By Tim Ryan
This book gives a very structured and comprehensive overview of planning and installing solar photovoltaic systems, both on and off grid. The book is concise and well illustrated with many diagrams. I recommend it highly.

 Rip OffJan 31, 2009
By information station
If you want the same useless information repeated over and over, buy this book at an outrageous price. First chapters are filled with used-car salesman pitches of voodoo global warming hoax nonsense trying to sell solar power, when it is unneccessary. It is the same nonsense repeated over and over. When this tiny manual finally begins to cover actual useful PV theory, science, and procedure it falls short of better and more complete manuals like PHTOVOLTAICS: DESIGN AND INSTALLATION MANUAL.
