GreenDIYEnergy Complaints – Where Are They?


What I’m writing here may not make any sense to a lot of people but nonetheless, I’ll try to explain it.

As I was trying to find a topic to write on my blog, I started to do some keyword research. Keyword research is a process where I try to find out what are the terms other internet users typed into the search engine.

As I was doing my research, I came across the phrase “GreenDIYEnergy complaints”. Initially my thought was, “Oh boy! Here we go again”.

GreenDIYEnergy is one of the top selling information products on home renewable energy system. If you are a home owner and you are searching for ways to reduce your electricity consumption, GreenDIYEnergy will show you how to tap the power from solar and wind.

When someone typed on the word “complaints”, most of the results from Google, Yahoo or Bing will come out negative.

Personally, I don’t like to read those stuff…it makes my blood boils!

I decided to go ahead and see what I will get.

Since Google is the most popular search engine, I typed in the phrase “GreenDIYEnergy complaints” in the search box.

The result returned by Google was very interesting. There are only 2 pages as of early January 2010! And those 2 pages were not even relevant.

What does this means?

To put it very simple, not a lot of people on the world wide web are complaining about GreenDIYEnergy. From my pass experience, I know other home renewable energy guides have a lot of negative feedback.

Honestly, I was quite surprise when I notice this with GreenDIYEnergy.

Does this means GreenDIYEnergy is a good manual to purchase?

Well, I have a copy of the e-book and so far, the step by step instructional videos is the best compared to other manuals on the web. The quality is really good and the information on how to make a DIY solar panel was very concise.

Lately, I checked the members’ area, they just uploaded 4 new high definition (HD) videos on DIY home wind turbine. Same video quality and again, excellent information.

Well, that’s my opinion anyway.

Tomas Haynes Energy2Green Manual Review




When I was doing my research on DIY home renewable energy, I came across Tomas Haynes’ Energy2Green e-book. Its main web site is at www.energy2green.com.

Personally, I quite like the web site design and color scheme. I think the little character looks a lot like Albert Einstein.

Energy2Green is the only home energy guide that has been seen on TV channels such as ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, Discovery Channel and PBS. None of the other guide has such accolade.

When you read the copy on Energy2Green web site, it has a pretty interesting twist to it. It turns out, Tomas’s guide started off as an engineering project for a university.

The project has 4 simple goals:

1) Work within a budget of under $500.

2) Construct a working solar panel and windmill with everyday building material.

3) The design must be simple so an “average Joe” can understand.

4) Combat global warming at the micro level.

When they finally came up with a winning design, it was put to the test by high school students.

High school students actually made their own solar and wind power system by following the step by step instruction in Energy2Green. Pretty awesome!

Tomas Haynes promised on his web site, anyone that follows his guide will be able to reduce their home electricity bill up to 80 percent!

Is that even possible?

That depends on your current home electricity consumption and how many electrical devices you have. If you are willing to get rid of power hungry devices such air-conditioner, water heater, microwave, refrigerator etc, it is possible to reach that goal.

A home solar or wind power system can easily be scaled up to produce more energy. When you have more electricity than you need for your daily consumption, you can now sell the excess back to the power utility company!

So what’s my verdict on Tomas Haynes Energy2Green manual?

It is very informative and helpful if you are planning to make your own home renewable energy system to reduce your electricity bills.

If a bunch of high school students can follow the instructions and made their own solar panel and wind turbine, I’m sure you can too.

Ben Ford Homemade Energy Guide Review

The third e-book I bought on DIY home solar power system is Ben Ford’s Homemade Energy Guide. If you have never heard of this manual before, you can find it at www.homemadeenergy.org.

So, what’s my take on Ben Ford’s e-book?

The first impression is pretty good. The main web site is professionally done. I’m quite surprised his manual was seen on popular publishing such as Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. That’s a great social proof!

Ben Ford is a 52 year old “average Joe” from California. There’s one thing different about him though, instead of paying the utility company, the electricity company is paying him!

How did he do it?

Well, he uses renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power for his home. When the amount of power generated from the sun and wind is more than enough for his household consumption, he sells the excess energy back to the utility company. Great isn’t it?

In the Homemade Energy Guide, Ben promised to teach you how to live off the grid and how to get the power company to write you a check every month.

According to Ben, you can setup the solar system for less than $200. As with other renewable energy guide on the web, the budget is meant for 1 solar panel only.

Based on my research, a homemade solar panel is typically capable of generating about 18 volts and approximately 75 watts of DC (Direct Current) electricity.

How much would it cost to have a complete solar power system at home?

Be prepared to invest upwards of $1000. The budget is needed to purchase other solar component such as meter gauges, charge controller, deep cycle batteries, power inverters etc.

The main cost of the system lies in the battery bank. If you have a lot of electrical appliances and you need lots of power, you may have to build a larger battery bank to support your energy requirement. Large battery bank means higher cost.

Nonetheless, a residential solar power system costing around $1000 is still much cheaper compared to a system installed by a professional contractor.

If you were to engage a contractor, be prepared to pay upwards of $40,000!

If you are looking for ways to reduce your home electricity bill, explore the idea of using solar or wind energy. If you want to save more money, go for the Do It Yourself (DIY) route.

If you are good with hand tools, you can build the system on your own. All you’ll need is a design blueprint and a step by step manual.

If you are looking for a good instructional manual on the web, check out Ben Ford’s Homemade Energy Guide. It comes with a 60 days money back guarantee.
