Ok…but most of the information can be found for free….,
Very generic and almost all of the information is in this book can be found for free doing web searches. For example, the chapter on installations is nine pages long and has no specifics. It merely repeats to consult a qualified electrician and I already knew that!
The plus side is that it is well organized and concise.

|Way too much of a general overview to be useful,
This book contains very little actionable information for people who want to begin installing a basic solar power system. If you’ve never heard of solar power, then this book will provide a bird’s eye view of the concepts involved. However, if you want to learn the basics AND obtain enough information to wire a couple of panels, a couple of batteries, and add the controller and inverter to the system, then you better look elsewhere because you are not going to find that level of detail in this book. If you’ve ever seen a television show about solar powered homes, then you have no need to read this book.
