RE: Results of My Reviews on How to Build Solar Panel DIY Kits.
Is Your Desire To Learn
How To Build Solar Panel Systems Feasible?
For many years I have been interested in green energy technology, and specifically in learning How To Build Solar Panel systems for home use. I even came up with a high tech wind turbine design (not for home use though). I recall posting my “green energy” vision on a blog, which had to do with people learning how to build solar panel systems, installing them on or near their homes, and then living off the free energy that the solar power system provided. I also thought that a cool byproduct of this would be that people could then drive electric cars so as to cut down on the smog and also virtually eliminate the need for other polluting forms of energy production. The next day however, I got back a response that stated that it would be too expensive to build solar panel systems for every home. I had to concur; I thought to myself “he is right it would be too expensive”.
Well that’s no longer the case. Now there are many DIY kits that shows you how to build solar panels as well as and wind turbines. These kits can help you to build solar panel systems for pennies on the dollar. This is a complete system that, if you so desire, will enable you to live completely off the grid! Living off the grid is getting to be a better idea today seeing that there are many power outages across the world at any given time on a daily basis.
So Then Which DIY
Solar Panel Kit is The Best?
Well being a Machine Designer and having worked in the manufacturing industry it's very easy for me to determine whether a do it yourself solar panel or do it yourself wind mill instruction guide is of any value or not. In the past I had to help develop instruction manuals for the machines that our company had designed. So I view all of this from a different perspective.
That is why I liked Earth4Energy so much. They have a comprehensive DIY Solar Panel and Wind Turbine instructional manual, as well as detailed videos. (SEE MY VIDEO TOUR BELOW) The Videos for the wind turbine blade construction was simply amazing! Once you get the process down you can go into assembly line mode and build many wind mills or solar panels. Hay go into the green business for your self!
Please read my individual reviews below.
Be sure to read my verdict at the end...
Earth 4 Energy
Michael Harvey the author of Earth4Energy is very knowledgeable and passionate about the green energy industry. I like his style because he developed his guide in a very easy to follow format, while at the same time he was very detailed and thorough. The fact that he now includes DIY how to videos is the icing on the cake, so to speak. .
This is by far the easiest to follow how to build solar panel guide. Before I made my decision I scoured the internet for other testimonials regarding Earth4Energy (not from the Earth4Energy’s own website). They were all positive as well.
Key Features of Earth4Energy
Thorough instructions that walk even the most unskilled person through building a homemade solar panel.
Details on how to obtain homemade solar components from your local hardware store.
Tips on assembly methods of alternative energy generators that are not readily available anywhere else.
Gives sources of batteries for storing your homemade solar power, and some are free!
Onetime fee - and you get free updates for life to the manual and video series.
A full two month refund period, as I mentioned Earth4Energy has very few refunds.
Detailed DIY or do it yourself how to build solar panel videos!
Most solar panels can cost from $500.00 to $1,000.00 but with this easy to follow step by step system you can make one from around $150.00 - $200.00.
He has great plans for a 1000W windmill as well.
Special Update:
As already mentioned Earth4Energy
offers very detailed videos
that have been updated with even
greater detail
He has other bonuses having to do with ways you can reduce your gasoline dependence and save a large sum of money using Ethanol as well.
In all aspects, Earth4Energy is the top of the line how to build solar panel, assembly and instillation guide. This is the best of the five I have tried. I can recommend Earth4Energy without hesitation.
HomeMade Energy
Bill Ford who is a Scientist, Researcher, Inventor, and who also is the Founder
of Home Made Energy has put together a good solar panel kit guide. It is basic in its contents but still has all of the instructions that you need so as to build either a wind turbine or to build solar panel systems.
As noted below Bill has also included some hard to find information that shows you how to build solar panel systems as inexpensively as possible.
Key Features of HomeMade Energy
Build your own wind turbine for around $150
Learn How to build solar panel systems for around $200 and even down to $150
Find out where to buy the parts and how to find the lowest cost parts for your project
With your home solar panel system you can generate enough electricity to make your meter spin backward, meaning that the electric company will be paying you for electricity!
Receive a full refund if you are not fully satisfied
You will receive proprietary methods that can be utilized to get these low prices.
Step by step instructions on how to create each of the systems with minimal effort.
Homemade energy is about $3.00 cheaper than Earth4Energy
You will get specific information on what is the best system for you to build, which is based on your location and also on the size of your home.
I so would conclude that Earth4Energy is still the best solar panel kit for the money, Homemade Energy with its slightly lower price and similar cost saving techniques makes it a close runner up. I however, would still go with Earth4Energy seeing that it is the best all around easier to follow package available to date.
The
Verdict ...?
Seeing that I was able to find several good testimonials shows me two things. First, that Earth4Energy is a good product, and secondly that it has been around for a long time. The gravity charts show that Earth4Energy is the people’s favorite by a staggering 4:1 ratio! Also it’s easy to follow instructional manual as well as detailed videos make Earth4Energy the hands down winner. An easy call for me really…
