Going Solar: Understanding and Using the Warmth in Sunlight
Really more of a "pamphlet" than a book - this only has value if you read it very near the publication date. I suspect that virtually everything in it will be completely out of date within months.
Nevertheless, it's well organized and presented. If you're interested in the business opportunities around green technologies, it is a must read.
