Got Sun? Go Solar: Get Free Renewable Energy to Power Your Grid-Tied Home (Paperback)
From Booklist
Learn a new vocabulary! Take a refresher course on the electrical power of the sun and the wind! Although the enthusiasm of renewable-energy experts Ewing and Pratt might get a bit wearing, they’ve developed a nontechnical reference and guide for home owners thinking about pulling the plug on their utility connections. In fact, after a look at the table of contents, the appendixes just might be the right place to start figuring out whether photovoltaic panel installation makes sense geographically and financially and which states offer rebates or incentives. A host of resources is also offered. Sidebars (e.g., special meter or no?) and trivia (e.g., the watt is named after its Scottish-born inventor) plus numerous charts, illustrations, and anecdotes help demystify the science and math. No windy authors here. Barbara JacobsCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

This definitely in no how to book. The author’s intent is to make you more knowledgeable prior to having a solar technician out.

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.

To be fair…read on…
To be fair, I have not read this book. Why 5 stars? The book is a for-profit venture by the author, so recovery of time, effort, & energy is important for revenue reasons.
