The Earth4Energy guide was hands down the easiest guide to follow when we were experimenting with building our solar panels and wind generators.

If you are interested in learning how solar or wind energy actually works, not just using it to eliminate your power bill, this guide goes into detail explaining it in easy to understand langauge.

The manual shows you how to build a solar panel or small windmill for less than $200 using easy to follow instructions. Neither of us are "expert handymen" so the videos provided with the manual were the key to success for us.

This website also has a members area where you'll be able to get help with design ideas and get tips when you need them (or pass on your own). Another key is that as the author improves on his energy systems you'll receive free upgrades for life. They also offer free email support to help you with any problems you might run into and when we tested him with a question about what type of wire to use in hooking up our deep cell batteries their support team answered back in 2 hours. We thought that was pretty good, considering we emailed them our question at 10 pm.

This book also has 2 free bonus chapters on how to use ethanol as an alternative energy source and how to reduce our dependence on oil.

Click here to visit Make Power At Home

Make Power at Home is a more expensive guide that covers building your own solar and wind energy systems but not as in depth as Earth4Energy. It focuses more on living green (reducing our impact on the earth) and living off the grid which ties into generating your own power for your home for a overall good package.

Even though the guide has very good illustrations showing you what to do, it doesn't have videos detailing the process which we didn't like. But if you are very handy and used to reading diagrams this could work very well for you.

After reviewing these three popular DIY guides we have to say we reccomend #1, Earth4Energy. It was one of the first solar/wind power guides on the internet and has withstood the test of time. Earth4Energy also had the best customer support after the sale which will ensure your success.
