I picked up this book after reading the author’s work on Green Your Home For Dummies, and it’s exactly what it claims to be — a solid introduction to the various solar power technologies that you can employ in your home. From a cheap, homemade solar oven to all the issues you need to consider when going full-scale PV, it’s fascinating. In fact, after reading this book, we’re well on our way to putting in a solar water heatg system.

Rik Degunther’s style is very easy to understand and he leaves no stone unturned in an effort to save the consumer money. He covers a lot of simple things you can and should do, even including how to economically turn on the faucet, before investing the bigger bucks into solar hardware. This book is fun to read and I especially enjoyed the emphasis on reducing our “carbon footprint”. Saving money is a good first motivation, but saving our environment should also factor into the bottom line, and his book constantly reminds us of this fact.

This book really had all the basis covered all in a language we could understand. We gained the knowledge of how to make solar power an conversion throughout the house! That’s money saving knowledge that is hard to get from just searching the internet.

I could rant and rave about this book because I found I finally have a awesome and complete book that really fills all the blank spaces and mystery of solar panels. I am very excited about redoing a home that will save me allot of money each month rather then a money drain.

What a waste. I am a firm believer that the the sun drives global warming/cooling. Wouldn’t you figure that a guy doing a book on solar power would figure that out? I also do not like waste. I think solar power is a smart move on its own merits. This book could save natural resources by sticking to the topic stated in its title and not doing the socialist propagandizing. 300 pages of waste (trees, shipping, ink etc.) and 66 pages of what you are buying the book for. It is the first and last DUMMIES book I buy as I’m no dummy.

Oh darn, Global warming turned out to be a hoax. Solar power is still a good idea. Just not this book.
