The Latest Big Thing:
Solar Kit and Home Wind Power DIY

Building and Installing your own
Home Solar Panel or Wind Turbine Energy System

Hi there folks,

Well, here we are again with another review.  I hope you're all feeling fit and healthy this time around, with a sudden yearning to tackle a home do-it-yourself project that not only will give you great satisfaction, but is super-cheap, will pay itself off in no time, AND is good for the planet too.  How can you go wrong???  And as you'll read below, I've had firsthand experience at building solar panels and a wind turbine, and I can vouch that it's a really satisfying experience.  


Above is a really great DIY guide that I recommend, which covers everything you need to know from start to finish about building and installing your own solar panels and wind turbines

I think it's been pretty clear for some time, that energy costs are headed upward, and they won't be coming down again.  With an environmental crisis looming and the government dragging its feet in addressing the issue, it's not surprising that many people are seeking to apply their own solution to the problem.

Thanks to the information supplied to us by our valued subscribers, we've discovered that home made solar kit panels and wind turbines are extremely cheap and easy to make and install, and the savings that can be made in power usage and installation costs are just staggering. 

To put the solar power cost into perspective, it is easily possible to get your first solar panel built and installed and saving you money for under $200, as compared to $4000, $6000, all the way up to $30,000 or even more, when quoted by a commercial solar energy installation company.  It's a similar story with commercially- built windmills, which can easily set you back over $5000 for just a single turbine, when you can easily build and install your own, also for well under $200.  And the really great thing is that these two systems compliment each other.  Add in some battery storage for the excess power you create, and



Charge the electricity company for the power you generate:

As we highlight in our review, there are a couple of fantastic stand-out diy guides for solar kits and wind turbines available on the Internet that make the whole process simple.  The use of videos, photos, diagrams, explanations, and ongoing backup support that can answer any question makes sure that you get your solar pannels and turbines built, installed and operational as quickly as possible. 

Also, these guides divulge a secret that the power companies don't want you to know about, by explaining how you can even get THEM to pay YOU for the energy you create.

Until recently, personally I had absolutely no idea that full-scale home green energy can be done by just about anyone - I thought that you needed to be an experienced handyman, an electrician, and a science geek all rolled into one to be able to pull off a significant solar kit DIY project, or even to get home wind power up and running. 

But as it turns out, people from all walks of life - basically you, your friends, and your workmates - are getting back to basics, and actually building your very own solar kit panels and wind turbines from scratch.  I recently helped my brother-in-law, who had no previous handyman projects under his belt, to build both a solar panel and a wind turbine and mount them on top of his garage.  We had a great time,  found the process easy and straight forward, and afterward sat down to a cold beer from a refrigerator that was now being powered by the renewable green energy that we had created!!  What a great feeling!!

Why is this catching on so fast?

It turns out that it's not only my brother in law who has caught the DIY renewable energy bug, but a lot of other people are also getting really pumped about this.  By putting together the feedback from you, our subscribers, we found out that main reasons that you're so excited about building your own green energy devices are:

•    This can save you a HEAP of money, where you can cut down your energy bills progressively all the way down to zero - yes, ZERO.  Not only that, but if you play your cards right, you can even get the electricity company to pay YOU, for the excess energy you create

•    There's also amazing savings to be had in the actual installation costs - many of you told us that you had been quoted tens of thousands of dollars by 'reputable' solar installation companies to fit our your homes, and in the end, you found that you could create and install your own panels for just a few hundred dollars of solar power cost.

•    It makes you feel great about yourself, and gives you a real sense of satisfaction, to build something that is EASY to make, and yet so useful and worthwhile that you can proudly show off your handiwork to your family and friends

•    It almost goes without saying that the environment, and indeed the whole planet, could use all the help it can get right now.  Every watt of clean, renewable energy that can be utilised in place of fossil fuel energy created from a global-warming-coal-fired power plant just helps tip the balance back a little in favour of the Earth's long term sustainability

•    Many of you are parents, and apart from wanting to see your kids grow up in a healthy environment, you're getting them involved in a wind turbine / solar kit DIY project to teach them that they are never too young to make a positive impact on the planet, and to give them a sense of pride and accomplishment.  And all this while they learn some practical handy skills that will serve them well through their lives.

Should everybody be doing this?

Now, I have to admit that I live in apartment with my wife, cat and 2 goldfish, so it just isn't practical for me to go building some decent sized solar pannels or wind turbines, then try to convince the building super to let me install them up on the roof.  So, in truth, maybe this kind of energy solution is not suitable for everyone.  But plenty of people like my sister and her family do live in detached houses, with a roof that catches sunlight for many hours per day, or where a wind turbine could be mounted to catch the breeze day or night. 

So for those in my situation who are worried that we are missing out all the fun, savings and satisfaction, you might like to consider people that you know who could really benefit from this, and maybe you could help out with a great DIY project that's very satisfying and a lot of fun.

Or think about how great it would be to make portable solar kits and wind turbines that could be taken on camping trips, to let you enjoy creature comforts like warm showers, or to power up little luxury items like coffee machines or hair dryers.

How do you get started?

The 2 home green energy solar kit / wind power DIY Guides that we have gone "Head 2 Head" with are GreenDIYenergy, and Earth4Energy.  See the actual comparison for product details, solar power cost, our rating scores, and check out our recommendation here

Getting on board with green energy for your home is one of the most responsible things that you can do for yourself and the environment.  Apart from the small investment in getting started with a renwable energy DIY guide, some very inexpensive solar kit or wind turbine component materials (a hint - for a wind turbine, a cheap PVC pipe will get you halfway there), and a small slice of your own time, you'll reap the benefits in savings for years to come.

As usual, so you can really delve into the topic, we've also included some relevant articles on this site for you to read and become better informed.  Feel free to browse, and get yourself familiar with this growing popular trend toward cleaner, greener living. 

Let’s do what we can to put a little bit back into Mother Earth's environment, so that in time, our grandkids can continue to enjoy the same wonders of nature that we all grew up with.

Until next time, Wishing you great success with your home green energy DIY projects!
