DIY Solar Panels in depth Review

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Grant 2 Comments

At First I Was Skeptical, But After Giving “Home Made Energy” A Fair Trial, I Experienced First Hand
How Much Money You Can Save on Electricity

I wanted to share my experience in purchasing a product that many other people recommended: Home Made Energy. I’d been researching for many ways to generate renewable energy from home. It can be done. But until very recently this was very, very expensive.
Luckily, Bill Ford figured out a way to build a solar or wind generator for $200 or even $100.
I was skeptical at first when I saw their website. However, seeing that they provide a 60-day money-back guarantee, I decided to give it a go.

And I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience with their product.
It taught me how to easily build a solar or wind generator. And I’m not an engineer or anything like that. The attention to detail on where to get every piece and instructions on how to put everything together, was tremendous. Plus, I have learned from the Home Made Energy guide. Everything is explained step by step and it contains information that is relevant.

After about 6 hours spent on it and $170 invested, I had my own solar panel.

After another 5 hours spent and $120, I had my own wind mill generator.

I just had to try both these systems. And I had a lot of fun while building them.

Is “Home Made Energy” The Best Solution
For The Energy Problems We Are Facing?

I would say a big YES! Otherwise I wouldn’t endorse this product.

You can buy a wind or solar generator and pay someone to install it. But from my research this will cost you at least a couple of thousand dollars.

And the DIY products from Home Made Energy will generate all the electricity you need, with only a fraction of the investment.
I save more on my monthly bill than I invested in the entire system.

This small thing that I’ve done for my home will continue to save me thousands of dollars, year after year.

Otherwise you end up relying on someone else. Leaving you right back where you started, wasting money, and filled with frustration. So, if you consume any electricity at all, this product is for you. You can even take your generators to family picnics, portable electricity!

Are There Any Negatives In Home Made Energy?

If I want to get really nit picky about this, I can probably think of one or two minor things that might be considered drawbacks.

Home Made Energy is only available in English. If your native language is Spanish, German or French, you could run into some issues. Unless you have a translator. But if you can read and comprehend my review, you won’t have any problems at all.

Home Made Energy comes as an electronic book (eBook). I would have probably liked to hold a genuine printed book in my hand, without having to print it myself. But they do have a good reason for providing only an online version. They update the guide on a monthly basis. They collect the information from users and also publish their latest discoveries when it comes to renewable energy. Plus another benefit to this is that you have instant access to it. It took me less than three minutes until I could read my own copy of Home Made Energy.

Other than that, I give to everything a 10. The product gives superb value for the money.
If you care at all about how much you spend or about a healthier environment, you should grab this product now. I’ve researched for more than 8 months now and I honestly haven’t found anything like it, by a long margin.
There are some other guides for DIY wind and solar generators, but all of those do not have the same attention to detail and as easy to understand as Home Made Energy.

Conclusions

I would recommend this product to anyone. Quality is great. Value is superb.

If you want to save money on your electricity bill, be energy independent, or even help our environment, then you need to grab “Home Made Energy”.

Is Renewable Energy Technology Really Available To Homeowners?

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Grant 3 Comments

With the rising energy costs and effects of global warming so prevalent today, many people are wondering if there is truth to the concept of renewable energy technology. There also appears to be confusion between alternative energy technology and renewable energy technology. Alternative energy encompasses all renewable energy sources, but includes things like nuclear power and energy from municipal waste. These are carbonaceous examples. Renewable energy technology focuses on energy that is replaced as it is being used, such as solar energy and wind energy.

With that clear, are there truly benefits on a home or small business level to renewable solar technology? Absolutely. Truthfully, by utilizing renewable energy technology on a home level you can save yourself thousands of dollars each year. Renewable energy technology has gained popularity in recent years and it has become increasingly easy to meet your home’s energy needs with just a little handyman work. With the information available about renewable energy technology, it is possible to build renewable energy products, such as a windmill or solar panel, on your own. Do-it-yourselfers are saving huge amounts of pocket change by building and installing these systems themselves. If you have the money to invest in a commercial professionally installed system, in general these are more efficient, however, savings can still be realized, and at a much faster rate, by researching and building your own renewable energy systems.

Renewable energy technology is advancing with each day. Solar electrical systems have advanced from giant roof panels to thin layers of film that are twice as conductive and work with less sunlight. There are now solar powered chargers for cell phones, batteries and other small household items. Windmills have been made more aerodynamic for greater action and electricity generation. Renewable energy technology can even be seen along today’s highways as small solar/wind operation stations powering signs and lights.

The truth is renewable energy technology is working and you can put it to work for you in your home or business. With growing popularity and more consumer use, renewable energy technology could minimize our effects of global warming, help alleviate financial stress and create a world less dependant on fossil fuels.

Can Anyone Live “Off” the Grid?

Posted on May 26, 2011 by Grant 1 Comment

When you talk about alternative energy and living off the grid, a lot of people feel instantly that they will have to give up most of their modern amenities to live in such a fashion. Many more think this is an endeavor solely for granola loving hippies, whose modest ways coincide with fewer technologies, TVs, ACs, etc. The truth is, living off the grid is a possibility open to anyone. Granted, you may have a larger investment if you are powering three chest freezers and all high-energy appliances, but this would simply mean you need a larger system.

The increased demand for renewable energy technology has led to the development of more efficient and easy to use components to make living off the grid a reasonable option for anyone willing to be mindful of their energy consumption.

Using renewable energy sources to produce electricity is a fairly simple process. You need a power source-sun, wind or water-from which you will harness a low voltage direct current that is then converted, using an inverter, into usable house current (AC). Excess current generated by your system is stored in battery banks where it can be retrieved during more high demand times or times when the direct energy source is unavailable.

Living off the grid with renewable power resources is almost completely automated as well. Except for the maintenance of your batteries, there is almost no special attention needed, other than monitoring your energy use to make sure you do not exceed your supply with your demand. The key to success in living off the grid is making sure you size your system to meet the demand of your energy needs.

Living off the grid can be an exhilarating experience. The feeling of energy freedom is like no other and you can be proud of your efforts to combat global warming and best of all, you may never have to worry about a power outage again. It is important to conduct your research and determine which alternative energy sources will work best for you in your geographical area, but it is definitely worthwhile to learn how to live off the grid and feel the rush of freedom being off the grid can give.

With a little bit effort, you can be on your way to learning how to make solar panels to meet your energy needs. Then sit back and bask in the pride the next time the power goes out on your block. Your lights will still be on because you learned how to make solar panels and your energy supply is still in your battery bank.

How To Make Solar Panels

Declare Independence and Build Solar Panels

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Grant 1 Comment

Recently I came across this I guess you could call it DIY solar Panel Guide, which included a Wind Turbine guide as well. I found the instructions easy to follow and the low cost was insane, compared to what you get commercially.
Say goodbye to electric bills and hello to renewable energies. Solar power is one of the best and most reliable renewable energy sources available. The problem most novice environmental warriors find is that the cost of professionally installed solar power systems is way beyond their budget and it could take well over 10 years to recoup their investment.
Never fear, there are alternatives. The most cost-effective way to take advantage of the energy of the sun is to build solar panels on your own.
Sound like too much? If you are worried it would be difficult, it is just not true. It is easy to build solar panels with the appropriate guidelines. Straight forward enough for children, teenagers and adults. The parts aren’t complicated either. Most of the materials you would need to build solar panels are available at your local hardware store or you can invest heavily in a solar panel kit, which will include all the parts you require to be generating your own energy from the sun. It is possible to construct several small solar panels to power small appliances or small tools in your workshop. Or for the very adventurous and determined alternative energy seeker, you could build solar panels to service a much larger electric load.
There are many resources and guides available with comprehensive instructions on how to build solar panels. The first and most important step is to seek out high quality comprehensive instructions. Then it is off to your local hardware store to find or order your supplies and next thing you know, or the next time you have some free time, you will be able to assemble and install the system yourself. Watch out though, the neighbours may start asking you to build solar panels for them too. Professional solar power systems can cost thousands to be installed and in today’s economy most of us don’t have money to spare. Make the choice to go solar today and learn to build solar panels on your own. It will be savings you can be proud of. Not only is it going to save you money to build solar panels yourself, but you can feel proud that you are doing your part for the environment as well. Declaring your independence from fossil fuels and making a much-needed impact on the world and in your neighbourhood.
And if you decide that even after building your own renewable energy source and want to go back onto the Grid, at least you’ll have learnt some valuable skills. Example, electrical wiring, if not handled correctly can be sharp. You can construct a tea table for your daughter’s tea party (Solar Frame), and how to melt solder and watch it bounce on the garage floor looking like silver raindrops.
Seriously though, please click through to the video and decide for yourself
Thanks
