	solar house: a guide for the solar designer Terry Galloway Covering the full life span of the project, from siting issues through specific design features to maintenance of the property and equipment, this is a comprehensive guide to designing, planning and building a solar house. The author uses his experience of living in a solar house to inform the reader of the technology and practices needed for the design, operation and maintenance of the solar home. Each of the technologies of the house, such as space heating and cooling, domestic hot water and electric power technologies, are critiqued from the point of view of the owner/resident, with the author using his thirty years experience of living in a solar home. This provides home owners who are thinking of going solar with first hand evidence of best practice, and provides the architect and designer with the knowledge of how to best satisfy their clients needs. 240pp click on image for contents page more on solar electricity Price: £29.99

	designing indoor solar products Julian Randall The use of ambient energy systems (AES) for indoor applications is limited to products of low power. This book defends the case that, under certain conditions, AES based on photovoltaic solar cells may be used for higher power devices. The motivation for this argument is both financial and ecological. It is for related researchers and academics as well as of a practical interest for engineers and designers of sensor systems planning on using photovoltaic technology for power. 198pp more on solar electricity Price: £75.00
