Summary:

Heating water with the sun is almost as old as humankind itself, and it is done all over the world. Yet there are strangely few resources on the topic in North America.

Solar Water Heating fills this gap. It reviews the history of solar water and space heating systems from prehistory to the present, then presents the basics of solar water heating, including an introduction to modern solar energy systems, energy conservation and energy economics. Drawing on the author's experience as an installer of these systems, the book goes on to cover:

  • Types of solar collectors, solar water and space heating systems and solar pool heating systems, including their advantages and disadvantages
  • System components, their installation, operation, and maintenance
  • System sizing and siting
  • Choosing the appropriate system.

Since people often get turned off by the up-front cost, the book focuses especially on the financial aspects of solar water or space heating systems, clearly showing that such systems can save significant costs in the long run. Well-illustrated, the book is designed for a wide readership from the curious to the student or professional.

Bob Ramlow is the solar thermal consultant for the Wisconsin Focus on Energy Program. The owner of a renewable energy company, he has over 30 years experience with solar energy systems and is a founder and director of the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA). Benjamin Nusz currently works as a solar water heating consultant and site assessor in Wisconsin.

This was supposed to a gift for my dad. I waited 6 weeks for my book then a week before Christmas they told me they lost it. They ruined Christmas.

Its in There!

Everything you needed to know about solar water and space heating is in this book! Written by 2 people who have been doing it for many years and have seen many succeses and a few failures. I appreciate their candor. Written for anyone to understand. Read this book before making any real plans and you will avoid some mistakes. Well worth reading!

Great Book
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

I was a little upset having read the chapter 1 only to find out that several systems described in detail the author would never recommend using. I was thinking to myself why did I waste time reading about those. But that's where the accurate part comes in. And by knowing why the author doesn't really even use those systems you get to participate in the pleasure of knowing everything there is to know about solar water heating.

With this complete book and a simple how to directions on plumbing almost anybody could build a system for their own specific climate and needs.
If you just want to find out about solar water heating and are thinking of buying an "off the shelf" solution this book will guide you to a great choice.

Great compact manual

I don't know a heck of a lot about solar technologies. But after reading just the first few chapters I feel confident enough to build a simple flat panel solar water heater.
