Many people have asked me if it’s really worth it to make solar panels. Anything is possible is what I say. However, there is a hard way and an easy way to do things. That’s when I go on about Green DIY Energy and start to sound like a salesman. All sales hype aside, if you’re serious about making solar panels then Green DIY Energy is the solar energy guidebook to get you there. This product is packed with quality content and that is it’s major upside. A lot of the DIY energy guides are not more than reformatted government reports or studies and do little to acutally teaching you how to utilize alternative energy. However, the folks at Green DIY Energy have gone the extra mile and then some.

Green DIY provides a complete package:

• 4 guide books: 2 solar guides and 2 wind guides
• 6 videos that easily explain making a solar panel from beginning to end.
• Bonus eBooks on topics like the sizing solar array worksheet, electrical and wiring plans, installation and mounting plans, wind maps, and more.
• 4 how to videos for building a wind turbine.

The videos vary in length and totally complete. All of the videos cover the various parts of the build from planning to testing. I am a visual learner so I like the video series the best. Lifetime membership to Green DIY Energy, you always have access to the guide books and videos. As they make improvements or add information you get updated. It’s a product that continues to give long past the purchase date. They made a number of great improvements for 2010 to the guidebooks and the video series. They also have a technical support number and forum for members to use.

Nothing is perfect. The only major complaint I have is that it’s not an actual book that I can read and hold. The product is only available for download, but you get immediate access to all the manuals and videos. With the benefit of only printing out the pages that you need and with lifetime access you can always have an up to date copy. As with any DIY project you really need to make a plan that is fairly easy to execute. Each of the guidebooks walks you thoogh each phase of planning out your diy project from start to finish. Most people I talk to about solar energy think only of using it on attached to their house. There are other great things you can do with solar energy. You can make a portable solar energy system to take with you car camping or tailgating. Why? Because it’s cool, and you can save your car battery. Getting out in the open can have a whole new meaning. Green DIY Energy is a great course for people seeking out green energy sources, and I recommend you check it out if you want to reduce your electric bill and do your part for the environment.
