Solar Energy Books

Choose from a large selection of the latest books about solar energy innovations, solar conversions, solar kits, projects and more.

Solar energy technology is becoming more efficient and beginning to cost less money than in the past.

Solar as a part of your home’s electricity can offer benefits up to and including revenues from the sale of your excess power back to the utility if you live in, say, Arizona.

There are many books and magazines explaining everything from the simplest solar gadget experiments, converting your home to solar electric, and even the construction and design of space solar collectors.
