You are one of the few true solar pioneers and you have done a great deal to shape a very important industry.

After the 2005 SolFest, we put in a 5 kW PV system, then a solar hydronic heating system that warms 5-7 rearing rooms at our beneficial insectary in Ventura, California. Your inspiration was the nudge that pushed us to implement our dreams. Thank you!

What a treat to be able to browse and learn about off-the-grid sustainable living from friendly, knowledgeable folks who encourage without pressuring, judging, or grandstanding.

The Solar Living Sourcebook is a breath of fresh air for everyone interested in being part of the evolutionary revolution. John's book is the best single source I’ve ever found on the technologies, philosophies, and the lifestyle changes we must embrace in order for our species to survive and thrive into the future. Time is of the essence for all of us to start walking the talk and this book is the guide for taking those first steps.

Used the Solar Living Sourcebook roughly 16 years ago to build an off-the-grid camp in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. It was my bible. The mountain gorillas and the Ugandan people will forever benefit.

Great shopping experience for self-sufficiency. Everything under the sun for solar independence. Very helpful and friendly staff.
