subject: DIY Free Energy - Earth4energy Review [print this page] A lot of us have at least thought about it and even tried to look up a little information and directions for building a source of solar power, solar panels most likely. I sure did even before writing an earth4energy review.
It's not the only way to go about creating your very own alternative energy source but it is one of the most common and popular and practical for a DIY energy option, after all, the energy source behind it is our sun.
I really need to see the whole picture and have a step by step guide when doing a building project like this so even after finding a lot of the information online It still was hard to put all the pieces together.
There are a few other on the market that seem ok and I am going to review them here as well sometime after publishing this earth4energy review.
Can This Earth4energy Guide Help You Do All It Claims?
If you're like me you are interested in building your own solar panels to see if you can actually install them in your home and make them really work and produce electricity. Nobody thinks this technology is make believe and we've known about it for a long long time but it's taken until now for some of us to go and try it.
The number one reason for me to tackle this project isn't the $20,000 or so that I'm gonna save, although that's my second reason... it's the fact that it's a really great DIY project I'll be bragging about for years to come. The other important reason being that if we were to go and buy from a commercial installer we'd be looking at an expense of $20,000 or more.
Mark & Michael who created this guide were obviously very intent on making it fool-proof:
1. Visual diagrams are there to compliment the step-by-step instructions
2. On-going email support if you need it
Needed Materials:
solar cells, batteries, solder, wiring, glue, black paint, silicon sealer, wooden boxing, plastic panels.
You'l probably have most of the stuff needed and some can be picked up at your home building supplier. Solar cells and batteries can be found on eBay or a local recycling center in your city. To keep this project well under $200 you will need to find these used materials.
So the bad news...
Not being able to acquire some of those materials really cheap, you won't build this project for the low price Michael claims on the earth4energy website. Of course they aren't in the solar product supply business so they can only guarantee the accuracy of their guide, not the price it'll cost you to come up with all the supplies.
But, as I wrap up this earth4energy review, I think most of us are resourceful enough to find these materials used, but even at twice the price they claim on their site, we're still saving a couple thousand dollars.
