How to Generate Home Renewable Energy
Last Updated:
Setting Up a home energy kit is verified to lower your power bill and help the environment.

But, till recently, it was as well fairly costly - the only way to set up a home solar or wind energy generators was to get it done professionally, which could cost as much as $2,000. Even stand-alone conversion kits can cost as much as $500.

Fortunately, the last three months has seen a range of conversion kits and guides, which show how to generate electrical energy employing the natural earth resources, with low cost materials, which can be accomplished even if you have little or no technical knowledge.

We decided to sit down and review these new guides - our key measures were ease-of-use, affordability of materials, power savings, and speed of installation.

In general, we were pleasantly stunned with the results - the technology obviously does work, and if you pick the right guide, you could well be up and running in a few hours.

We have reviewed 14 Home Energy kits- only 3 met our criteria:

  • Sizeable Power Savings - at least 40% more power efficiency
  • Fast and Easy Setup - in only a few hours, even for novices
  • Affordable Set-Up Cost (well under $200)

"Proven to be the best Home Energy Kit in 2008..."

Home Made Energy

By far the easiest-to-follow guide we came across - our own experience says you should set aside maybe half a day to buy the parts and get it fully installed. This kit includes information for generating energy using solar panels and wind turbines.

This is the only guide that assumes absolutely no knowledge about power engineering. Impressively, our support ticket was answered to in under an 60 minutes (although it could take a little longer at weekends), and there is an unconditional 8 week money-back guarantee.

Best of all, the technology necessary is readily accessible and cheap - we were able to buy all the components required for well below $100. Given that its proven to reduce the power bill by as much as 75%, in numerous cases even entirely, you could well recoup your investment in under three weeks.

The installation of this kit can be done on any kind of house or building. Home Made Energy is targeted straightforwardly at electricity "novices", and it is still our top pick for 2008 and comming 2009.

November 2008 Update : there is now a promotion going on the site, and it is temporarily available for $49 instead of $297 - as such, we recommend ordering sooner rather than later.

The Verdict: Fast and simple setup; works for complete beginners; verified power savings of up to 80% - our top choice.

2. Earth For Energy



Our second choice applies a similar technology as our top pick - and once more, we were impressed by the quick support, money-back guarantee and low setup costs.

This kit includes extensive information on how to set up home solar panels with inexpensive materials, explained in a uncomplicated easy to understand way. All in all, it's a pretty decent package which means you can be enjoying great energy savings for very little, very quickly. So why only four stars?

Well, maybe we were spoiled by our top pick, but we found the instructions a little harder to follow - and since ease of use is so critical, we decided to knock off a star. But this product contains a good information about wind power generators, as well as solar panels.

3. DIY Home Solar Power

DIY Home Solar Power is our 3rd and final choice, and it actually includes 2 separate classes to help you make your own Home Solar System.

They report up to 50% reduction in the power bill - however the guide wasn't so easy to follow, because it expected some technical knowledge

When a support ticket was passed on in order to inquire about some technical difficulties with the installation process, our support ticket was not responded to. A full, hands-on support system is critical if a relative "novice" is to install the technology, and here unluckily it just wasn't there.

In general, this is a sufficient product, but unlike our top pick, it includes only information about Home Solar Panels, without including enough information on Wind Power Generation.

These days everyone needs solar energy.

 Why? Gas prices are so high... Electricity is so expensive..
 Save your Money - Just think about it:

Don't pay for your electricity any longer...
Instead, the power company will pay YOU
