 Evil Genius - SolarJun 27, 2010
I would recomend this book to anyone wanting to get a start in learnig about solar energy.
 Very simplistic. Extremely disappointed.Feb 08, 2010
This is a good book for a 10 year old maybe. Was expecting some neat, unconventional uses for solar energy based on the title, but this was just a collection of things such as distilling water with saran wrap and the like. Very disappointed.

 Fun, but scant on detailsOct 09, 2009
I was disappointed in this book. It's hard to tell who the book is aimed at - an electronics buff or a middle school science teacher. There is almost enough information to complete many of the simpler projects, but not enough to tackle the more interesting ones. And some of the projects have no directions at all!
I would buy this book if I wanted to get inspired and play around with some simple projects, but if I were interested in constructing a photovoltaic system or a solar hot water heater, I would find another book. The book, Green Energy Projects for the Evil Genius, has more complete directions for more interesting solar projects that this book.
 Lots of Solar ExperimentsMay 31, 2009
I learned new things about solar energy. Did you know the sun does not rise in the east or even south of east in the continental USA? I thought it did, knowing we are north of the tropic of cancer and even at June solstice high noon the sun still is slightly south of me.
It rises in the northeast in the morning swings south of vertical at noon and arcs into a sunset in the northwest!
The projects are not fully explained at times and well explained at others, so I could not rate it a 5 star.
