Softcover - 195pp By Scott Sklar and Ken Sheinkopf At a time when millions of Americans are facing higher energy costs, the newly updated Consumer Guide to Solar Energy can show you how to reduce these costs while actually making your home more comfortable. The costs of energy for heating, cooling, and electricity are at an all-time high in most parts of the country, and many energty experts predict that they will continue to rise. At the same time, there is growing concern about the reliability of an aging and less-than-secure electric grid. Recent world events have further emphasized the need for energy security and reduced reliance on imported oil. The Consumer Guide to Solar Energy is a must for those who are tired of power brownouts and blackouts, skyrocketing energy bills, and the feeling that there is nothing we can do to help resolve these problems ourselves. Don't wait for utility-bill Sticker shock to worsen, or sit through another power outage or energy disruption. The new edition of this guide can help you seize your own desitny, become more self-reliant, and use the available technology to make your home more comfortable and your power bills more affordable. Two nationally recognized experts on solar energy have updated their classic guide for homeowners and businesses. The new edition includes updated information on solar energy tax credits and a host of new state programs supporting clean energy. The incentives total more than $3 billion for clean energy installations, and the authors provide a quick gude to accessing these and other consumer benefits. About the Authors Ken Sheinkopf is associate director of the Florida Solar Energy Center, one of the largest and most active renewable energy research and education centers in the world. He has been with the center for 19 years and has directed hundreds of training and education programs for consumers and technical audiences. |
