Customer Reviews

An excellent guide for DIY solar panels.
Although this publication is more a pamphlet then a book, it's contents had exactly everything I wanted - 1) How to make the panels, the recommended size and position on the roof, the plumbing layout 2) How to make the electronic pump controller, all the bits needed to do it yourself. and a simple circuit diagram (Well, not that simple, but just about within a DIY-ers capability) 3) Names and addresses of organisations that supply parts and advice

Excellent, concise, practical
This 24 page booklet provides all the information needed to build and install a DIY solar heating system. The author is knowledgable and his text is pleasingly free from from padding and dogma - e.g. he suggests the ideal location and orientation for a solar collector then continues to specify a range of measurements within which the collector's performance won't be adversely affected.

The time I saved in not having to plough through pages of irrelevant Google results (as one other reviewer suggested) is worth far more to me than the modest cover price of this book. Probably the best "how to" book I've read.

Pamplet for 'Greenies'
All the information is concise and valid - but this is not a book, it's a 'pamplet', and ought to be given away free with plumbers solder.

Don't devalue it's data, it's just that a good deal of the £5.99 charged SHOULD have gone to a good cause - say £5.98 of it.
