As I have highlighted in my 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 pretty 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.  It's a pretty good feeling when you get to a milestone like that.

   

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 many enthusiasts across lots of internet forums, I found out that the main reasons people are so excited about building their 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 people initially had quotes in the tens of thousands of dollars by 'reputable' solar installation companies to fit our their homes, and in the end, they found that they could create and install their 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 parents,  apart from wanting to see their kids grow up in a healthy environment, get the kids 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.

The 2 home green energy solar kit / wind power DIY Guides that I compared are GreenDIYenergy, and Earth4Energy.  See the actual comparison for product details, solar power cost, my rating scores, and check out my 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.

So you can really delve into the topic, I'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.

Here's to you, and having great success with your home green energy DIY projects!
