You may notice advertising banners on this site offering a product to eliminate your electric bill. It’s a product called Earth4Energy. With all of the scams on the Internet, we thought it would be appropriate to give a little information, just in case you haven’t heard of the product before. We actually purchased it several months ago to see if it was what the author claimed it to be. It is, very much so.
With all of the misleading ‘run your car on water’ type offerings on the Internet, we believe most people are at least a little skeptical of anything offered online, and rightly so.
Solar electric systems are really fairly basic. The sunlight strikes the solar panel, which converts it into a DC current which you can then use directly, and/or store in batteries. If you need an AC current for household devices, you simply run the DC into an inverter which gives you an AC output. This is obviously simplified, but there’s not a whole lot to it. You do, of course, need to learn everything you can before you begin. That’s where Earth4Energy comes in. Also, employ a licensed electrician before you start fooling around with high voltages, in case you intend to go totally off-grid.
Many, probably even most individuals seeking to get started in solar and/or wind renewable power as cheaply as possible, often just build a separate electrical system independent of their electrical panel. It’s a great way to start if you just build a single solar panel and have maybe just a couple of batteries. That’s the beauty of doing things using this method, you can start saving money immediately with a very low initial investment. You can then add to your system as your funds permit, getting to a totally off-grid system if that’s your ultimate goal.
Anyway, if you’re wanting to build you own DIY solar panels, and/or wind turbines, we found Earth4Energy to be an excellent informational product. It is exactly what it says it is, and we were very impressed with what we received. There are excellent videos on constructing DIY solar panels from individual solar cells, and how to build a wind turbine from a simple, cheap alternator. The product has many very good videos, and very good, easy to understand printed material.
The author, Michael Harvey, is providing a valuable service by enabling many, many people to reap the rewards of renewable power when probably most could not otherwise afford to . The information and videos on building a wind turbine are just as impressive as the solar panel material. The videos are very well produced, and there are also bonuses including a very good ebook on biodiesel. There is also information on finding batteries and solar cells either very cheaply, or even free!!
Once you purchase, you’re emailed a link to access all of the information in the Earth4Energy Members Area. There’s also an option for purchasing a CD for $9.95 that has the information.
Michael is continuously adding to the members area, and there is now an excellent online video library. There are also tax rebate forms to download. Solar electric systems, and other alternative energy home improvements, including wind powered systems, solar water heaters, etc., have excellent tax incentives.
Whether you plan to build your own DIY solar panels, a wind turbine, or even both, we believe the Earth4Energy product is an excellent bargain, and a great way in which to start providing electrical power for your home at a ridiculously low initial investment.
Unless you’re financially able to lay down $30,000-$60,000 for a complete, commercially installed solar electric system, and possibly even more for a sizable wind turbine to provide all of the power for your home, DIY solar panels and wind turbines are definitely the way to go.
