Rezensionen

'A great overview of good and bad practice with solar heating systems.' Berthold Breid, CEO, Renewables Academy (RENAC), Berlin 'If you are going to spend thousands of pounds, euros or dollars on a system, read this book. It will give you a thorough grounding in the subject, and prompt you to ask the right questions to your installer.' Permaculture Magazine 'Earthscan bill these volumes as expert handbooks and they do not disappoint. They will save you from making costly mistakes and are well worth the cover price ... This series is pitched at just the right level for specialists - detailed, well illustrated, full of information yet readable. You can buy similar books cheaper but you won't get the level of detail or the clarity of explanation and illustrations.' Permaculture Magazine 'The Expert Handbook by Chris Laughton is really worthy of its name. High quality components, design and installation are at the core of the book, which gives a great overview of good and bad practice with solar heating systems.' Berthold Breid, CEO, Renewables Academy (RENAC), Berlin 'A comprehensive introduction to all aspects of solar domestic water heating systems... Well written, easy to read, and definitely a comprehensive guide. Recommended reading for anyone with an interest in the subject - An excellent book!' Building Engineer Magazine
