1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Rubbish, 20 Sep 2007
By Alasdair Denton-miller "cynical realist" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a total waste of time and effort.

It deals poorly and almost exclusively with off-grid systems while the vast majority of Solar PV requirements today are grid-connected. It is also written in a very conversational style, with the author trying to make solar systems easier to understand by using ridiculous analogies such as trees and goats.

Mr. Pieper's humour is also rather poor. He tries to be funny, but falls flat on his face.

If you really are interested in designing and installing your own Solar PV system, I would advise staying well clear of this pathetic book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A ray of sunshine in a world of dull solar books, 3 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Easy Guide to Solar Electric: For Home Power Systems (Paperback)
The dry German humour in this book provided an entertaining read from cover to cover. Very good analogies and gestalts make the comprehension pretty unforgettable. If all techies could write this way then maybe we could get ludites to read books.
