An excellent book on solar power,
As a newbie to solar power, I was worried that this book would be too technical for me, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I bought this book along with another one and this is definately the best for its clear descriptions, level of detail and general readability.
The book gives a lot of practical advice and from the very beginning it is obvious that the author knows what he is talking about. The book covers the subject very well and I feel confident that I will be able to install my off-grid solar electric system easily based on the practical experience shown in this book. The authors web site also provides a lot of really useful information including a superb project calculator that should be the first stop for anyone considering solar power.
Highly recommended.

This is what a solar energy book should be!,
“The Solar Electricity Handbook 2009″ is a small size but very comprehensive book on solar energy.
Many of the existing books on solar energy just talk around the subject but do not give you any real substance. “The Solar Electricity Handbook 2009″ is different: It gives you all the information you need in plain and simple English. It covers introduction to solar energy, designing solar electric systems (calculating solar energy, surveying your site, component selection and costing, detailed design, installation, trouble shooting, maintaining your system, etc. It includes 2 sections (10 chapters), a very detail “Table of Contents” so you can locate the information you need quickly, and very useful appendixes: Information on related support website, Table of Solar Insolation and Table of Latitude and Sun Height for most if not all of the cities in North America and the UK (I can even find the small city in California that I lives in on the Table), Typical Power Requirements for household and office appliances and devices, Information on Living Off Grid and Other Solar Projects, and a helpful Index at the end.
“The Solar Electricity Handbook 2009″ has 150 pages and some simple and straight-forward line diagrams. It gives you most if not all the information you need to design and install your own solar system. It is what a solar energy book should be!

NOT Nikola Tesla’s MY INVENTIONS,
This is NOT Nikola Tesla’s MY INVENTIONS, published in the ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTER magazine, February-June and October, 1919 issues. It is a corrupted version of Tesla’s autobiography titled THE STRANGE LIFE OF NIKOLA TESLA. The original document was published in booklet form a copy of which was found in a used bookstore in 1994, transcribed, and published on the Internet. The booklet was subsequently found to contain significant errors, omissions, revisions and also some additions that did not appear in the original 6-part serial text.
Buyer beware!

A shoddy edition of a text deserving of better,
The presentation of Nikola Tesla’s fascinating life and work is manhandled in this edition of his autobiography, My Inventions.
The text is full of typographical errors; the letter “i” (referring to Tesla in the first-person) is rarely ever capitalized, and there are numerous misspellings of simple words. Paragraph breaks seem to have been inserted at random and, when compared to other editions, do not correspond with the others’ layouts or chapters.
I do not know what Tesla’s manuscript looked like or who is responsible for typesetting it for BNPublishing, but it is most telling that Amazon’s link to look inside this book redirects to a different edition.
