I’m the author of THE COMPLETE IDIOT’S GUIDE TO SOLAR POWER FOR YOUR HOME and take exception to the review by Robert Tipton “skeptical idealist.” Yes, this book is aimed at those who have little knowledge of solar power and want to know more. That’s the point! It’s an introduction to the topic. Once the decision to solarize is made (it’s not for everyone), there’s much how-to information here to guide the reader through the process including buying, selecting, and installing a system that fits individual needs and budget. There are many other great technical books about the solar power option, including those offered by Real Goods, whose president wrote the foreword to and recommended this book. THE COMPLETE IDIOT’S GUIDE TO SOLAR POWER FOR YOUR HOME offers intelligent readers the basics of a topic new to them. Please don’t pan a book because it isn’t for you. Thanks. –Dan
