Earth4Energy
The Overview:
Most of our neighbors have been telling us about using solar energy as a source of electricity. I am an advocate of anything that has to do with helping the environment. But the problem with all these “save the Earth” alternatives, they cost you an outrageous amount of money. Having solar panels installed can cost you more than $20,000 to get from a retailer. Our neighbors and a lot of people have actually recommended having DIY Solar panels for our home. Most of the recommendations were to buy the Earth4Energy.com step-by-step program.
Our Opinion:
I visited other sites and reviewed other programs and I will say that in terms of price, all of these DIY Solar guides were in the same range. There are a few reasons why Earth 4 Energy stood out in the crowd: First the 90 page step-by-step Ebook was extremely well organized and easy to follow. The product comes in 6 separate parts. Part 1 is an introduction to solar. Part 2 is building and constructing your own solar panels. Part 3 is the solar help package that contains a solar calculator to help calculate the number of solar panels that you will be needing and the size of the battery bank needed, a how to guide for installation and mounting, forms for solar tax credits and rebates and electrical wiring plans. That said, I’m a visual guy so what really sold me on this product is high quality video series.
Conclusion:
The program instructions and the step by step guide can be followed by any person of any age. And besides, if you get stuck in one portion of the project, Earth 4 Energy has a technical support center that is always willing to help. Listen folks, I am a person who believes in the power of “word-of-mouth”and after much research I found a lot of good testimonials out there on the Internet. If you are looking for a cost efficient, hassle free and fun way to build DIY Solar panels for your home, the Earth4Energy guide is your best friend!
Green DIY Energy
Overview:
Solar energy is growing to be a popular source of energy nowadays. Product like Solar deck lighting, solar indoor light and others are now available in the market. Soon, we will be able to buy solar powered cars and other electrical gadgets. With this, the popularity of DIY Solar panels for the home has been growing. There are a number of good products that help you build a DIY solar panel system and one of which is brought to you by Green DIY Energy.
Our Opinion:
In building your DIY solar panels, this is a great program and a very close second to Earth4Energy. First of all, it comes with an Energy Audit kit that you can use to check on your “energy wasters” at home. After which, you can proceed to the three books. The first book was about an introduction to solar energy and how to create it, how to find free solar panels and how to maintain your solar panels. This book should be read prior to building the DIY Solar panels. Book two teaches you anything and everything about building DIY Solar Panels and book three is about installing and mounting these solar panels. Dividing it into different books make it handy for the user and it would be easier for them to browse through the pages, you may want to consider this product, as well. For a limited time, it also comes with a one hour video on a step by step guide on building this DIY Solar Panel and a DIY build your own wind turbine.
Green DIY guides are well done and will help you a lot in building your own DIY solar panels. I’ve not heard much feedback yet for this product, but it looks very comprehensive and reliable as well. Also, I’m not too sure though if they have an after sales support, but one of the feedback bubbles in their site says that they do and it’s great.
Conclusion:
Their product is quite comprehensive, too, when you compare it with the other DIY Solar panel guides in the market. The after sales support needs to be checked, but Green DIY Energy is another option for consideration.
MakeNaturalPower.com
Overview:
With the increasing cost of electricity and the continuous rise of prices of goods and products in the market, one has to be thrifty. A smart person looks for other alternatives that save him money – money that he can use for other essentials. Nowadays, these other alternatives, although save a lot of money in the long run, cost a fortune to buy. An example would be having solar panels built and installed would have you dig into a huge amount from your well-earned savings. Do put that away, because there is such a thing as DIY Solar panels that you can easily build, install and enjoy! Before working on the project, you will have to need a guide on how to go about this. One of the guides in the market is from MakeNaturalPower.com.
Opinion:
Because of my interest in energy alternatives, I have seen a lot for DIY Solar guides being advertised. The Make natural Power guide is one of these many products that talk about information before starting on the project, a complete step-by-step instruction in making your own solar power generator, complete instructions on how to make a 1000-watt windmill, legal and maintenance information about your new power systems, tips on how to save money on gas and electricity and how to find the cheapest deals for the materials and parts that you will be needing.
I’m not too sure on how that flow of the manual is, though. I prefer that each part be on separate books because if all of the parts are in one manual, it will be a tedious material to carry especially when building the actual panels. I would need a lighter and handier guide book to refer to every once in a while building and constructing.
Also, in the event I need assistance in doing this project, I am not sure if they have an after sales guide or support that I could use.
On a lighter note, they seem to contain everything that you may want to know about building DIY solar panels. It may also be a good tool.
Conclusion:
Anything that would help save the earth has my applause. Kudos to MakeNaturalPower.com, although in my opinion they need to be more detailed and consider the comforts and “handiness” in using their product. This may be a fairly good reference in building DIY Solar panels.

A great documentary done by Les Stroud from the Survivorman series. One that really turned me on to the idea of living self sufficiently. Call it what you want, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that we’re living beyond our means, and a return to self sustained living is a good all around idea no matter how you look at it.

My Home Owners Association requires we have a specific lamp post in our yard, and I would like to convert it to solar power instead of hard wiring it. Are there kits available that will allow me to take my existing lamp post and convert it to Solar? Please keep in mind, that I can not change the model of lamp post we have, so I would like to replace the guts to make it solar.
