The calculation of total energies for solids using the variational quantum Monte Carlo approach is reviewed. The form of a Jastrow-Slater-type wavefunction which gives satisfactory ground state energies for sp-electron systems is described in detail. The use of pseudopotentials to remove core electrons from the calculation is discussed. Examples of applications to carbon and silicon atoms, and to diamond, graphite, and silicon solids are presented.
