Solar Projects for the Do-It-Yourselfer!: Build-It-Solar is a renewable energy site that gives the environmental conscious do-it-yourselfer hundreds of ideas, tools and information to make their homes more energy efficient. This site contains step-by-step plans for more than 500 renewable energy and conservation projects that can be tackled by homeowners who consider themselves handy. A lot of thought and research went into presenting this material; it is well researched and very creative. I was impressed with the relative simplicity of some of the ideas, as well as the complexity of others. There are projects here for every skill level. I like that there is an area for experimental projects for the inquisitive do-it-yourselfer. My one suggestion for improvement would be to add a section that shows off the results from people who have used the plans for some of the solar projects.
