Review: Very good primer on Solar Photovoltaics - It's a great primer on all the components and installation considerations. Don't expect any profound mathematics or electrical theory. Has a lot of nice charts, diagrams, appendices and illustrations. Only think is it's a bit dated - came out in 2007 as far as I can tell and the PV industry has continued exploding with new products, materials, approaches etc. which this book does not cover ( how could it - the changes have taken place post-publication). If they print a newer version I'm sure it will be a real 'gem' but this one is still top notch in most respects.
Review: Outstanding reference - This book got me thru the design and installation of a complete off-grid system for my lake cottage. The process of site evaluation, system component selection, wiring, etc. is complex, but with a lot of study and this book, I ended up very happy with the results. Everything you need to know is here. I recommend it for anyone who is starting with little PV knowledge and wants to end up with a whole house system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good primer on Solar Photovoltaics

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding reference
*by A***R on March 31, 2011*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of good info, but is a bit overpriced for true content.
*by G***N on April 27, 2010*

In many of the "Official Solar" websites, this is "THE" most recommended book on solar, and probably it was "The Book" for years while this science was still pretty new. It is a good book, it has a lot of useful tables and general info, and does offer many good suggestions and recommendations. If you buy this book, and are pretty new in this field, this will be helpful to you. Though all the above is true, this book is quite over priced for what you get, but as with nearly all text books and manuals for use type of stuff, you do tend to get ripped on cost a bit. It should be no more than a $25 book.....however that may be.... This book is probably still going to be the "standard" upon which most other non-engineering level books are measured by for some time. Though overpriced (IMHO), you will not regret having used this book. I have read it through more than twice, and the author has a good way of expressing the info so nearly anyone can understand it: good man! enjoy.
