I would love to research and learn more about solar anything. My hubby is not interested so I need to find books I can understand and do some experiments. I would love to become more comfortable with solar and how it works. Any book titles would be appreciated.

Cozynana,

I like you was interested in solar homes. Here is a website that I was sent from a friend. I am a subscriber and have the book. I found the information good. It I feel is a good place to start.

Thanks for the link. Have you completed any projects. Like hot water heater, built any panels, etc? I would love to learn how. Hubby doesn't seem interested, but I am.

No, I just bought the program and videos from Power4Patriots. It has everything from solar panels, wind turbine. solar hot water, solar cooker. The manual looks easy enough to me to understand and build my own. After I paint the house and get the inside in order which I am hoping to complete by the end of May, then I shall be centering all my attention on learning the process and building my own solar system. If you want to check our their website it is:
www.power4patriots.com. I paid $67 for the whole thing and you get downloads immediately while you wait for the hard copies of book and videos. Good luck. I'll let you know as I delve into it what I think along the way.
