If you have heard all the hype around people making their home wind turbine and solar power at home for little under $250, you would have noticed that there are dozens of diy energy guides on the market. One them, Earth4Energy, claims it can help you save up to 80% on your power bill. But what is the truth behind the guide? We got ourselves a copy, and this is what we found.

What we liked about it:

1 – Affordable and full of content:

Although similarly priced to its competitors, the Earth4Energy ebook is not only the longest guide (currently 73 pages), but also the most complete. And if the guide could not answer any questions we had, the great customer support helped fill in the blanks, which brings us to our next point…

2 – Great after-sale service

Our support questions were replied to very quickly, very helpful advice. Also, after we requested that they add video instruction to help us see the systems being built in real-time, they did. Now it is the only diy energy guide that offers video instruction for both the home solar power and home wind turbine!

3 – Great solar power instructions

The solar power plans were full of advice and with the step-by-step videos, they were the easiest to follow. Micheal Harvey was accurate in saying it would cost us under $150 for all the materials and parts, since we ended up only spending $139.37. How crazy is that? If you think to get a professional system with similar power output would have cost well into the thousands of dollars!

What was also helpful with Earth4Energy’s solar plans, is that it shows you how to make the system portable, which is ideal if you own an RV.

Dislikes:

1 – You need to scale up to start saving:

This is one of those problems we found with all the diy energy guides. Yes, it is very possible to save up to 80% on power by following these plans, but it will take you more than one system to get there. So, depending on how much power you want to make, and where you live, you will have to scale up your systems, and obvious spend more than the claimed $250 or so to see the desired results.

The Final Decision:

If you are really serious about making your own home wind turbine and solar power system to start saving money, then Earth4Energy is your best option. It has the most comprehensive instructions, practical diagrams, step-by-step videos, and top quality customer service with regular, value-added, free updates. And it is no wonder it has outperformed it closet competitors – Homemade Energy and Efficient Planet – by over 500% (based on number of happy customers).

And what’s even better is that you can now get a FREE sneak peek of Earth4Energy, before deciding to make your own Home Solar Power and save thousands on your electricity costs.
