Achieving energy independence through Solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower

Like his book on wind energy, this is an excellent introduction to solar energy. The terms have been explained clearly, and simply.
The chapter layout is excellent, and this makes it easy to keep going back to specific sections of the book whenever you want.

The writing style is clear, simple and yet covers enough matter for the lay reader to lay back and feel satisfied. For the person who wants to go deeper, the ways in have been clearly indicated.

I recommend this book

This is an excellent book, to start learning about Wind Power. The chapters have been laid out very logically, and Dan takes you through the basics of wind, wind systems, assessing your power needs, the types of windmills etc.

The style is simple enough for the lay reader, yet covers enough matter; and this makes it an excellent starting point to learn about wind power.
