Passive Solar Energy Book Dowloadable from BuiltItSolar

Bruce Anderson and Malcolm Wells

The book assumes no prior knowledge of solar heating and cooling. It starts with the basics and builds from there. The writing style is very down to earth, and even humorous at times. (in spite of Bruce's multiple MIT degrees). The illustrations, construction diagrams, and photos are great. A really fine book to start your journey towards a solar project.
