The Green DIY Energy guide cost $49.97, and it says I’ll be able to build my own solar panel system for under $200. And, as of right now, I believe it. I’ve already skimmed the manual and watched the first introduction video where the host goes over all the parts and materials, and I’m sure I’ll be able to purchase everything for under $200. I’m not convinced that is going to cut my energy bills in half; the solar panel system looks relatively small, but it will be a good start.
The Green DIY Energy guide definitely is legit, I would not worry about spending $50 for it. If you are interested in building your own solar panels, but am not an expert, I would purchase a guide like Green DIY Energy. Besides, it has a money-back guarantee, so if it doesn’t work out for you, you get your money back. Earth 4 Energy would have been my second choice, so you may want to check out that guide as well.
No phone support – I would like if they had technical support via phone to talk to when I run into problems, which I’m sure I will (nothing is ever as simple as it seems!), but as of now, they only offer email support.
I do wish, however, that there was a video for the mounting of the solar panel, which can be confusing. The video series ends with the complete construction of a solar panel and the testing of it.
The Tools:
When you decide to do a DIY home project, your first task will be to buy the DIY tools that are appropriate for the job. But then, you may not be so lucky to have an all-purpose tools store somewhere in your neighborhood or anywhere even in your town. In such situations, a convenient way is to surf the net and look for stores that sell DIY tools and products online.
If you are like many people today, you would like to save money on your electric bill and reduce your carbon footprint by going “green”. Building a renewable energy system for your home is a great option for those who are willing to put in some time and effort into their energy system.
With Green DIY Energy, you get two thorough and clear manuals – one on solar power systems and one on wind power systems. You also get instructional videos on 7 different aspects of making solar panels and windmills. The videos are great because they cover the more complex steps in the process, so you can watch someone do it right, instead of merely reading about it – great for visual learners, like myself.
There are 2 systems for getting free energy from the sun – traditional heating (direct heating from the heat of the sun) or electricity generation (uses solar cells).
