Hi:

I have plans to move out of southern california to either southern
utah or northern california. 

I'd like to try to get the house in the new area, as much off the grid
as possible. Can anyone recommend some books on this subject so I can
be more enlighten on the subject when the time comes to hire a solar
contractor (I'd like to have an intelligent conversation with the
contractor so I will know I'm not getting ripped off)?

Thanks

Good luck getting any answers here. This group mostly seems to be for
people who hate mountain bikers. I think it is the people who moved to
california drive there SUV to a park and then complain because people
are ruining it with their mountain bike.

On the topic of solar, I seem to remember there being a solar news
group but I can't remember the name. I used to read it fairly often
and there was a lot of people who knew alot about solar. Photovoltaic
and passive. There is also wind power. I have a magazine called wind
power swomething if I come across my copy I will give you the info.
That had a lot of "natural resource" things for energy in the back,
including a fair amount of solar. I've known a few people who have had
solar arrays. If I owned my own home that's the way I would go. Witha
wind generator too.

Good luck
