Having used it in a minor way for a couple of years, solar energy seems to me to be the simplest way of cutting your heating and lighting bills, even in the British climate. This excellent book looks firstly at the energy the sun emits, and the various ways it can be captured efficiently, then using solar power to provide lighting, electricity, heating and, briefly, for swimming pools. Also included are chapters on costing an installation, and the relevant legislation (in the U.K.). Excellent book! 144 pages. Heaving with diagrams, charts and photographs, all in colour. Hardbound.
