Can You Make Home Solar Power With The Efficient Planet Instructions?

October 23, 2009 by Tim McDonald

Introduction

The Efficient Planet guide is not just one book, it’s 3! With 71 pages on how to build a home solar power system, 51 pages on how to build a home wind turbine, and another 50 pages on how to enjoy efficient living at home, this is one comprehensive set of instructions! It almost hit our #1 spot, over-taking Earth4Energy, but its lack of video instruction put it at #2.

1 – Complete step-by-step plans:

Because Efficient Planet is packed with so much information (over 175 pages), it is great value for money at only $49.97. Not to mention how easy the step-by-step plans are to follow.

2 – Many free extras

Efficient planet has a whole host of bonus items for its customers – this includes a 50 page guide on efficient living. Just this guide alone is worth the $49.97. Also included are audio and video interviews with fellow DIYers that have built their own home solar and wind power.

All customers also get a free copy of “Project Wealthy” – a 12-part home-study course on running your own home business efficiently; and some “undisclosed gifts”

3 – Solid plans:

A useful feature of Efficient Planet, is that is has been broken up into 3 separate guides:

The First volume talks all about solar power, and how to make your solar panels at home. But it went further and talks about other solar power options, such as solar thermal heating and solar roofing.

The second part provides step-by-step instructions, with diagrams on how to make your own home wind generator. It also goes to talk about the 10 false rumors about wind power, and how to use it effectively at home.

The third volume teaches how to save power and become more energy efficient. Although much of this info is common knowledge and available freely throughout the net, it tied in well with the purpose of the guide – to make your home energy efficient.

Dislikes

1: Lack of video instructions

Initially we thought Efficient Planet is the most complete set of solar and wind power instructions. But we noticed that is has no video tutorial, that show a working system being built in real-time. This make a harder for the average, everyday person to build their own working solar and wind power generator, without getting stuck. Yes, the diagrams did make it easier, but it makes more sense, in this day and age to provide step-by-step video instruction.

2: Nothing really unique about it

The Efficient Planet instructions seem very similar to what you get in other diy energy guides. But since the plans actually work, I guess it does not make any them any worse than the other guides. Furthermore, this guide is great value for money with all the complementary gifts you get with it. And that is why I preferred it to Homemade Energy or Homemade Power Plant.

Overall Rating:

Efficient Planet provides some of the most complete, and useful step-by-step instructions on making your own renewable energy and saving power at home. Yes, you will eventually build a working solar and wind power system with the plans, but it will take you a little longer than if you used the Earth4Energy guide (which has free video instruction). The free extras make it well worth the $49.97 price, so it comes in 2nd place.
