Summary

Authors Dave Bonta and Stephen Snyder of USA Solar Stores successfully dispel three main myths about solar homes-that they are unattractive, overly expensive, and difficult places in which to live. These exceptional homes are groundbreaking not only in their use of renewable energy but also in their commitment to recycling and repurposing materials used in construction and reducing the impact on the surrounding environment through sensitive building methods. With details on why these homeowners decided to go solar and how having a solar home can save money in the long run, these solar beauties are sure to inspire homeowners to create or remodel their own solar sanctuaries.

Excerpts

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that." -Thomas A. Edison, 1931
