Earth4Energy Review Do-It-Yourself Solar And Wind Power

By Muti | April 5, 2009

With the skyrocketing costs of energy these days, many folks are looking for ways to save on their utility bills. Wind and solar energy seems like a viable option, but the preliminary costs can be overwhelming.

One resolution that’s becoming more trendy is to make it yourself. There are numerous books that claim to teach you how to do this, but how good are they?

Earth4Energy is one of the most popular DIY residential solar power and wind power books available and as it turns out, with good reason.

Earth4Energy promises to teach you how to make your own solar panel or wind generator for under $200 and does precisely that. But we believe the best part to be the instructional videos. Everything is easier when you truly see someone do it.

It also contains a few of what they call “free chapters” that teach you how to lessen your oil dependency and how to use ethanol as a viable energy source.

There is one thing you need to be aware of, though. While it’s feasible to create a solar panel or wind generator for under $200, this isn’t going to replace your utility bill. It will take much more than one wind generator or solar panel to make a major impact on your utility bill.

What we didn’t like: Earth4Energy gives you all it promises, but little else. There are no bonuses and modest insight other than the obvious. But if all you want is to create your own wind generator or solar panels, you can’t go wrong. And as we mentioned earlier, the instructional videos make it rather easy.

If nothing else, if you like to create things, this could be a fun project. Having the ability to power even a small device using only the sun or wind gives you a sense of triumph.

Important notice! Don’t buy Earth4Energy from the main sales link! At the time of this review, we discovered that if you try to leave the page or close “Suzy”, their spokeswoman (which we found a bit annoying), a phony chat box pops up and offers a $10 discount. We highly recommend that if you plan to buy, to take take them up on this offer.

Usually, although they tell you it’s a limited time offer, they never go away. BUT … you never know. If you plan to buy, we suggest taking advantage of this special right away.

Bottom line: if you fancy yourself a handyman or woman and have been thinking about this, Earth4Energy gives you everything you need to know. For product comparisons, visit DIY Residential Solar Power and Windmill Power Reviews for more details.
