This is a new ''pocket'' edition with better quality photo reproduction and additional materials."A slump in agricultural profits in the Britain of the 1920s and 30s,and a consequent precipitous drop in the value of land,led to the growth of the "Plotland" movement.Enterprising farmers would divide their fields into small plots which would be rented out or sold outright at low prices to anyone wishing to build a small cabin or chalet on them. The sizes of the plots,and the facilities offered and conditions imposed varied from site-to-site,and what emerged was an eclectic vernacular, relying very much on found or re-purposed items to create buildings which ranged from essentially allotment huts to full-time dwellings. There was a strong independent, even politically radical streak amongst the plotlanders, and this, combined with the ad-hoc nature of construction led to them falling foul of the authorities.The passing of the Town and Country Planning Act in 1947 sounded the death-knell for the movement, and many were compulsorarily purchased and the residents re-housed in the post-war period. Where they have survived, such as here on the Gower captured by Stefan Szczelkun''s camera, they are a powerful reminder of a brief but influential movement in British building, one which should cause us to review our relationship to the land upon which we live.The Chalet Fields of the Gower in South Wales represent one of the finest surviving examples of Plotlands... arguably the last significant vernacular architectural building movement in the British Isles. Often making use of re-purposed or salvaged material, these chalets were built on former farmland divided into plots, with minimal services or tenure.''Stefan Szczelkun, by his own evocative photography, and in conversation with Owen Short, a local architect experienced in the construction, extension and maintenance of these remarkable chalets, captures the unique atmosphere of a fascinating chapter in the history of our built environment."  Nick Barber

Essentially, Solar Success is about using solar energy to reduce the fossil generated electricity that we use: to reduce one's carbon footprint. Throughout, it stresses the need to reduce what one uses unnecessarily before one thinks about generating more. This can be done by three associated and economically viable approaches:¿ reduce energy usage by doing things differently¿ reduce energy usage by using more energy-efficient appliances¿ change the supply of energy to non-fossil fuel through appropriate technology.The solar energy required is there; 7000 times more energy than the world currently uses is available. It makes every sense to use it and countries worldwide increasingly do.Solar is also affordable. In California, Italy and Japan, solar power now challenges power generated through natural gas and nuclear energy. In Germany, home owners' solar generated surplus fed back into the grid network and all energy generated is paid at close to five times grid electricity's buying cost.Australia's solar take up is high in rural areas that lack grid-connection. Sales of systems that draw from and feed back to the electricity grid (i.e. grid-connect) proved even more successful than expected as installation rebates and feed-in tariffs were initially very generous.In mid 2014 the Australian Federal government virtually ceased paying rebates on the curious basis that the scheme was attracting many more takers than had been expected. There is now however a growing move to go off-grid as electricity prices continue to rise (and feedback payment drop).Knowing what is practicable and what is less practicable with solar enables readers to evaluate what is offered. And to have an often necessary and educated say in the decisions. For those who wish to design and implement systems themselves, Solar Success shows how to do it, and how to avoid the traps.However you finance the system, and no matter where or how you live, follow the guidelines in Solar Success and you will have an economic system that will supply clean and reliable power for years to come.

The idea of minimizing and having pre-made deliverable homes that fit easily onto the back of a standard truck has a lot of appeals.
