Welcome. The following is my Earth4Energy Review. Lots of folks have been getting this how-to guide, so does it live up to all the hype? Let’s take a look.
First off, I’m a hard working guy that doesn’t like to throw his money down the drain, my wife even accuses me of being a miser at times… but it’s for the good of the family, right?
When I came across Earth4Energy, I have to say I was very interested. And a bit skeptical. I have a background in Engineering, so the motion of saving money by using the sun and wind was very appealing to me.
At the time, I had never really put together any type of solar or wind energy systems, although I must say I’ve always been curious. We do what we can for our earth, like recycling and using flourescent bulbs, and this seemed like another good thing we could be doing. (I have to admit that the saving money part is what really got me excited, but if I can do good AND save money, then we’re on to something here!)
An old college friend of mine (Mike) got this package last year, and one weekend I was over at his house for a BBQ and saw that he had solar panels on his roof and a small wind turbine quietly humming away in his back yard. I didn’t say anything, but I was quite impressed with his handywork… even a little jealous. I guessed he had paid big bucks to a contractor to come out and set up solar at his home, but then he said that he had done everything himself with parts he picked up at a local store. I thought that was a little far fetched, but he took me inside and showed me the package he bought that taught him how to put it all together.
Things started to click for me… the details were extremely clear, the instructions literally walked you through everything and left no stone unturned. Mike turned to me and said, plainly, “Yeah, we actually pay about every month for electricity.” He showed me his electric bill for the last month, and I was surprised to see it was a single digit, quite unlike my 3 digit bill.
While Mike is a good friend, he was never the brains of the group back in school. I knew right then and there that if he could do it, I most certainly could too. I went ahead and got the Earth4Energy guide myself that night and started looking it over. After I completed my very own successful renewable energy project at home in a few weeks, I made up my mind to an Earth4Energy review.
Here is a breakdown of what’s in the package:
I. The eBook - This is the main part of the guide, and the sections I found most helpful were:
- A complete explanation of how solar systems work, and how to get the electricity from your panels to the outlets in your home.This part also covers the basic pieces of the system so you can learn everything. Some of these systems and their descriptions include:
The Kilowatt-hour meter.While it looks simple, this is a really important component, and Earth4Energy lays it all out for you.
Inverters - What they are, how they work, and how you can find one for ten bucks. - A little know SECRET to getting FREE SOLAR PANELS. This tip actually saved me more money than anything.
How you can wire solar panels on your own and save a lot of money by avoiding pre-fabricated components. - How to create your own solar energy panels from very low cost materials.
- How to construct your own wind generator. In this section, you’ll find great tips. Some include:
- 5 things all wind turbines have in common, and why you need to make sure you don’t get oversold by a manufacturer calling it some fancy name and charging more than they should.
- A section on how to cut the blades to create maximum efficency.
- A sizing requirement guide, so you know exactly how big to build the system to generate just the right amount of electricity for you
The best wiring combinations, so you can wire your system optimally and prevent overlaods.
II.Videos - these are very helpful. There’s nothing better than actually watching someone complete the steps right in front of you. These are being updated constantly, and you can find a really good tutorial about building solar cells. It shows you how to actually do this yourself, by hand, and save a load of money on pre-fabricated pieces.
III. The CD - You can get the complete package in an instant download, or in CD form. The download is obviously faster, but the CD option is available.
IV. The Bonuses - Michael Harvey has put together a really compelling guide here, but on top of everything he includes some really great bonuses. I’ve noticed over time that he’s always adding to these, so I won’t mention them here because everything is updated so often. Some folks have mentioned that the bonuses alone were worth more than the cost of the Earth4Energy Guide.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my Earth4Energy review, and can soon start making your own electricity while doing your part for the planet at the same time!
