366 PAGES COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN 66. -
I am a firm believer that for the most part 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 conservative (read independence) ($$$$$) 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.

Solar Power -
Lots of good info and encouragement about building a solar home or converting an existing home to solar.
Still, you will need more than this book to get started.
Good Basics of Solar Power -
Bought this for my son who is building a cabin in the Texas Hill country--he wants to stay "off the grid" as much as possible. He said this a good book for basic understanding, but will need more specifics before building...He does recommend this as a good start.
Good Beginning book for Solar -
Keeping in mind this is part of the "for Dummies" series, I really liked this book for all of the general knowledge that you can obtain. It gives a great overview from calculating your expenditures for electrical power and offers simple, real world low cost solutions that anybody can implement.
I also liked the fact the author made it clear that before you invest in solar panels for your home you should do an energy audit so that you maximize the return on your investment.
This book, as with all the "for Dummies" series of books are not the be all end all of one's pursuit to understand solar, how it works and how it gets implemented.

A very informative book on the subject of solar energy. The way the book was written was simple to understand and easy to read. The comparison of grid tied power to solar was very enlightening. A super read if you are considering the prospects of solar energy.
