Earth 4 Energy
This website features guides into building your own solar panels. As an added bonus they also teach you how to build a wind turbine. This is technology at our hands that can very possibly provide us with nearly all the energy we need to power our homes. So how does this product hold up?
The package is priced at an odd $49,97 thus saving you 3 whole cents of a full $50,- (though it will turn out that the price is definitely worth it). Something that immediately stands out when you have bought the package is the amount of detail of the different chapters. Also the addition of full-length movie clips – up to 90 minutes – provide great insight into the process of building solar panels and wind turbine from scratch; in a way that you can’t really express in text.
Getting started with the solar panel, the first guide gave me a good into the process of generating electricity with solar panels. In addition to this guide there is a 90 minute introductory film, giving a birds-eye view of the process you are about to engage in. Here I got the first (and the last for that matter) “Oh my, where did I get myself into” moment. But soon the detailed step-by-step guides showed me that even someone with two left hands can do the job.
Of course I can’t show you exact imagery from the books due to copyright issues, but I can tell you their general contents. Each chapter contains detailed plans, color diagrams and pictures aiding you in finding the right tools and working through the right process in making different parts. It’s information is detailed and will answer all your questions ranging from “What is a wire stripper?” to “What specifications should my fuses have?”
The whole process from scratch to a fully working solar panel is not only described on paper, this whole process is also fully handled in the different videos (mind that you master the English language, though the captions during the video will also help you along).
The last part can be seen as a bonus. In this one they will tell you how to build a wind turbine. I have not attempted to make one of these yet, but I will give it a try later on. I have skimmed through the guide and videos and they seem to be just as detailed as the solar panel part.
According to some quick calculations (the real numbers become apparent over a longer period of time) this one solar panel should save me a couple of hundred dollars this year, which is great value for the $120 it cost (of which $49,97 was for the Earth 4 Energy Guides).
I can see a bright future for myself and for you in terms of energy savings. It certainly can’t hurt to try it out, don’t be a criminal to your own wallet. With a full roof of solar panels you might even be selling electricity back to the energy corporations. Not to mention that you are also able to make solar panels for way below their regular retail price, meaning that there is a viable business in that area.
