The book had some basic information about installing solar PV panels. The instructions aren’t clear at times. Could be better if the author had included more pictures in the book. Many times, I had to google images of specific items the author was trying to explain.

The book can be quite tiresome to read, the author tends to repetitively mention where you can get information about a particular topic from other chapters while he is explaining something else.

This is a pretty in depth book. I was impressed by all the detail. Wasn't able to finished it as there was much more in it than I was looking for this just a passing interest.
