A home wind generator system is very similar to a home solar power system. Instead of solar panels to capture the energy from the sun, a home wind generator uses a wind turbine to turn the kinetic energy of wind and converts it into Direct Current (DC). The video above shows how a typical residential wind power system will look like. The turbine is setup 5 feet in the air to capture the wind. It uses a 12 volt generator and is kicking out 600 – 800 watts of electricity. Similar to a home solar power system, the wind generator is connected to meter gauges, controller and finally, the power is stored in deep cycle batteries. An inverter is used to convert the Direct Current (DC) from the batteries to Alternative Current (AC). The AC can then be used to power all the electrical appliances.

Many home owners like to reduce their home electricity consumption by using free energy from the sun. Because of that, the home solar power industry has grown into a billion dollar market in the United States.

Unfortunately, installing a complete solar power system for your home can be quite expensive. If you didn’t know, prepare to be shocked and awed.

You’ll need to invest at least $40,000 and above to get a robust system that will fulfill all your household energy needs!

Many people would not be able to afford that or rather they are hesitant to invest in the system because it takes a few decades to recoup their investment.

As a cheaper alternative, many home owners are turning to the Do It Yourself (DIY) home solar system.

One of the components of the solar system which you can make on your own is the solar panel. The construction process is not easy, but it is definitely possible.

For those who are technically challenged or you have trouble operating a hand tool, the process would not be easy for you. The best option for you is to ask someone to help you or pay someone to make the solar panel for you.

If you have some experience working in your garage or workshop, your next step is to get a solar panel design blueprint. You’ll need a step by step instructional plan and wiring diagram for the panel.

When you have the plan, the next step is to prepare the budget. You will need to source for Photovoltaic (PV) cells and all the necessary lumber and electrical components.

How much money do you need to set aside for 1 solar panel? Generally, you’ll need about $200 or less.

What are the tools do you need?

To make the solar panel, you will need a multi-meter, screwdriver, soldering iron, wire cutter, pen knife, glue gun, hand drill and hand saw. These tools are fairly basic and you can buy them from your local hardware store.

Remember, you are working with electricity in your project. Make sure your design plan is proven and reliable. Make sure you understand the concept of a DIY solar panel.

Any mistake or error in the design can be harmful to you and your home. The electric spark caused by the faulty wiring has the potential of burning your house down!

This is not to discourage you from making your own solar powered panel, but rather to remind you to practice safety first.

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.

If you want to know more, check it out yourself.
