Renewable books

[HHP Ed]

Can anyone recommend any books on renewable energy? Any aspects of it from design, install and products etc.
On any of the different types of renewable energy, especially solar, air source, ground source and biomass.
I want to get a bit more knowledge about them incase i do decide to go down the renewables route at some point.
Thanks inadvance guys

Ive been having a look and found a couple, but i thought why not get recommendations from other guys who are in the same industry. got to be the best type of review.

I meant research renewable energy on the internet and save money by not buying a book.

There are a lot of books out there but depends if you want to pay the prices...!
BSRIA do the Illustrated Guide to Renewable Technologies which gives some good high level information but doesn't get into anything in huge depth.
The Green Building Bible is a good read, covers all aspects from building form and fabric to services, sustainability etc and very good value at £9.99 each.... Green Building Books - Green Building Bible 3rd Edition Volume 1 I just bought them and was impressed but may not be specific to what you are looking for.
CIBSE and the Carbon Trust Websites are also well worth a look.
Hope this helps
