A Solar Manual for Homeowners

Online, March 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Now there is a book that informs homeowners how to get affordable, user-friendly, durable and easy-to-maintain solar energy systems for providing your household electricity and hot water needs.

After 28 years of experience the author, Jonathan Cole, has put together a handbook that will show you the affordable way to a clean, green energy conscience. Factual information provides the reader with the knowledge on how to get the job done. The book, "Light on the Earth: The Solar Option" is available through the companion web site, http://www.lightontheearth.org/ and Amazon.com.. At the web site there is also a compendium of useful and valuable information on purchasing, government tax breaks, shipping, sizing, and designing solar energy systems. However, information contained in the book is far more than any technological facts. It is the real-world experience contained within its pages that make this book more useful than any other.

Whether a do-it-yourselfer or planning to work with an installer/contractor/electrician, you need this book to insure a practical solar installation that will operate for decades. Many installers do not have much actual experience living with solar energy systems and recommend systems that do not take into account, maintenance, durability and user-friendliness. In order to know enough about these systems to specify the its design to the installer/contractor/electrician, the homeowner needs the information contained in this book. Properly designed systems can last for decades and poorly designed systems can be a disappointment due to high maintenance and service call expenses.
