If you're looking into solar: you can beat overzealous solar salespeople at their own game. Arm yourself with the knowledge this book contains before purchasing solar panels.

If you already have solar: this book will help you understand it better and maximise your solar utilisation (and lower your energy bills). It may also assist in your decision to upgrade, replace, or expand your existing system.

Really comprehensive book detailing common sense ways to maximise your investment in solar. Goes through in an easy to understand way the decisions you need to make and it has the information you need to help with the decision. Most importantly it does not try to sell you anything - just gives unbiased information for you to decide. - Stephen (Verified Buyer, Australia).

  2. Measuring Your Energy Usage. How to conduct a quick and easy energy audit of your home.

  4. Show Me The Money! How to size your solar system and consider its financial return.
  5. Choosing Your Hardware. De-mystifies the process of choosing the right panels, inverter and other hardware.
  6. Getting Solar Quotes. How to find reputable installers and get a few quotes for comparison.

Absolute best advice

Finn’s book was so easy to read, comprehensive and covered all the areas I needed information on and many other questions I now understand I needed information on. Highly recommended.

The Good Solar Guide

This text should be read by anyone contemlpating installing Solar Panels, together with all the necessary and optional "Add Ons".
Clear text with appropriate examples place the reader in control of any purchase contract, rather than at a major disadvantage in negotiating what is best for them.

Informative Read

I am getting my solar, installed by previous owner, replaced under insurance. I had a quote but was uncertain how good the information I received from contractor was. The book gave me a lot of knowledge and confidence in understanding my solar and also that my contractor is of a high quality.

The information in the book covered information I already knew, had questions about or completely knew to me.
