DIY Solar Panels – Earth4Energy Wind and Solar Review

Since you’re here reading this review of the Earth4energy DIY solar power guide, we’re going to assume that you’re interested in building your own solar panels or solar power system to help offset your energy costs. That’s great news because the Earth4energy plans can help you accomplish this surprisingly easily, mostly using supplies you can find at your local hardware store.

Earth4energy set out to create a guide that virtually anyone could follow, it doesn’t matter whether your a 12-year-old student doing a class project or a seasoned do-it-yourselfer looking for your next project to build, if you can follow along with the instructional videos, you can build the solar power system.

For those of you looking to build a wind turbine, don’t worry Earth4energy includes free the same type of plans and instructional videos to help you build your own wind generator, just like they do for the solar power system.

The Earth4Energy Solar Power System guide includes a six part instructional series that will take you from knowing nothing about solar energy to storing the power produced by your solar panels or wind turbine.

Part 1. Introduction to solar energy.

• Learn the basics of solar energy.
• Discover all the components that go into building a solar power system.

Our opinion of part one of the Earth4energy plans

We found it made a great primer for the rest of the course, this section will help get you up to speed learning the basics of solar energy and the parts involved in a solar power system.

Part 2. Building your solar panel.

• Comprehensive set of plans, with color photos.
• Nice set of instruction to help with any questions that come up.

Our opinion of part two of the Earth4energy plans

Maybe it was just us, but we found that we ended up getting lost a couple of times following the instructions, not that they were wrong, they could’ve just been laid out a little differently. This really wasn’t a big deal since most people we’ve talked to never even looked at this section, they went straight to the videos.

Part 3. The solar help package.

• Solar Calculator.
• Instructions on installing solar panels.
• Complete wiring diagram
• Learn more about about solar tax credits for the USA.

Our opinion of part three of the Earth4energy plans

We really liked this section since it covered a couple areas that other guides just plain left off such as wiring and solar panel installation.

Part 4. The Earth4Energy Video Series.

• Following along with the videos will ensure things go right the first time.

Our opinion of part four of the Earth4energy plans

One more area where Earth4energy excelled was with their videos, this one section alone we would’ve paid $49.97 for, if you’re new to do-it-yourself projects than this is the part that you’ll really appreciate the most.

Part 5. Building a Wind Turbine.

• Detailed instruction will walk you through every step to making a wind turbine at home.

Our opinion of part five of the Earth4energy plans

Now if you’re like us you probably weren’t very interested in building a wind turbine, but since there are included we decided to give it a try. The result was we were able to build a working power generating wind turbine in a little less than three days, not too bad for a freebie.

Part 6. (Bonus) Solar and Wind information video series.

• 7 new videos.
• Approx run time 2 hours

Our opinion of part six of the Earth4energy plans

Take our word for it, do not miss this section, you’ll find lots of valuable information in it. We were able to use the information in the videos to run power to two different rooms in our house, saving us around 30% of our power bill per month.

Would we recommend the Earth4energy plans to a friend.

Yes and as a matter of fact we have several times, not only to friends but family also.

Does the Earth4Energy DIY Solar Power guide deliver on it’s claims?

Yes, you’ll be able to construct a solar panel at home, with very few problems if any. Although, we did find ourselves lost once during the soldering portion of the solar panel project, but were able to get back on track pretty quickly by rereading the plans and watching the instructional videos. (our fault, not the plans)
