Just say "NO!" Then say it AGAIN! 
According to another reviewer here: "Instructions were incomplete."
He is being highly charitable.
There will be no more "EVIL GENIUS" books for me. You've been warned.

Solar Projects 
Excellent book. The only one that had exactly the information I was looking for.

Very disappointing. 
There was some interesting info about solar power. But, the "Projects" were very weak. Instructions were incomplete.
I have been thinking of putting some solar panels on my roof, as an introduction to what I hope will be a big part of thr future. This book did not get me any closer.

Excellent choice for just about anyone
I purchased this Book as a gift for my father. He loves to build things, and I thought introducing him to the wave of the future in engineering through "Solar Energy Projects for the Evil Genius" would be a fun way to learn something new. I was right. He loved it. I skimmed through the book, and it has detailed instructions, pictures, and tons of really great and practical ideas and projects...combined with some slightly rebellious ones. It truly is an original book and alot of fun..Highly recommended for those that like to create and build.

Increasing depth of understanding.
I have been a solar electric and solar hot water installer for 3 years. I can design and install a system with ease and confidence, but the projects in this book increased my understanding to a whole new level. It was like learning about solar from the inside out. I always enjoy it when I can learn about something I know well from a different angle. Some of my friends bought the book for themselves after thumbing through my copy. I recommend this book for anyone who likes to have a hands on approach to solar in many different areas.
