So many people are investigating renewable energy, these days, whether it’s passive solar, active solar or reduce home power bills.

Much of what is written is either a waste of trees or blows most budgets, so when it came to homemade solar panel systems I was super skeptical.

What I saw, confirmed my fears, a fair bit of what is published is impractical to build, there were though a few publications that offered genuine, well researched and practical information.

Amongst the group, the best of these would be Earth4Energy, which proved to be a comprehensive manual on how to build an integrated renewable power generation system for the average home.

The whole system utilizes recyclable materials, so is incredibly economic to put together, making it possible to have part of the system up in a weekend. The solar panel might take an extra weekend or two, by the time you have located the necessary bits and pieces, but but time is well spent when you think about what you will save long term.

For the handyman this package offers a wealth of information, instructions, pictures and diagrams which will allow virtually anyone to build a renewable power system, {comprising both wind and solar power, that will generate power from both solar and wind}.

These wind and solar systems are not created for mansions and don’t expect your first effort to power everything, it won’t unless you are very frugal, it was never designed to do that, but it could save you anywhere upto 30% on your power bills. That is just the start, once the first system is up, just build another.

This publication is an excellent piece of work, put together by a man who has done it and even if you are only just starting to think about building a renewable energy system, this book will quickly make you realise that it is quite simple to make your thoughts become a reality.
