Green DIY Energy – Review

Hey Drew here,

So, you’ve heard about Green DIY Energy and now you want to know first of all, does the technology work, and second, is this the best DIY energy guide on the market? Well, keep reading my friend and I’ll tell you everything you need to know. You’re about to read my uncensored GreenDIY Energy review by an actual user and find out what I really think about this do-it-yourself, home energy system.

Why am I writing this? The first DIY energy guide that I bought was Earth4Energy (about a year ago.) I’ve just recently come across a new product called Green DIY Energy and I thought for the longest time that it was just another copycat like most of the other DIY energy products I’ve looked at. After looking over the e-book and watching the videos however, I could see that what they created was a great improvement over the other guides.  I also like the fact that they have excellent customer service and an actual 800 number that you can call for help.

This is a complete review and because of that, I’m not just going to share all the good things about it but I’m also exposing the bad so you can make an informed decision if this is really what you are looking for.

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on different e-books and videos, and hours upon hours of research, to determine which guides work and offer the best “bang for the buck”. There are several good DIY systems out there, but I tell you what, after reading through the manual and watching the videos, I am impressed! I originally used the Earth 4 Energy system to build my windmill and solar panels, but after reading Green DIY Energy, I’m ready to start all over again on some new ones! (In fact, I’m building a new VAWT style wind turbine that I’ll be posting about soon.)

What is Green DIY Energy?

What’s Included “in the box”:

• How-to energy guide - Introduction to creating electricity on a small scale, how to find solar cells for free or at a reduced cost, where to get your materials and how to maintain your solar panel system.

• How-to build your own solar panel – Detailed plans, instructions, diagrams and images. The panel in these instructions cost only $94 for parts.

• How-to mount and install your solar panels – Gives you several options for installing your panels and step-by-step professional intructions to help you finish the installation correctly.

• Instruction videos – Clear, concise, easy to follow and entertaining; these videos make it look easy.

• How to build your own wind turbine – This guide will show you how to build one for less than $140.

• Energy Consumer Guide - Guide to help you determine how much you can save with solar power energy.

• Solar tax credits and rebates

• Unlimited membership and updates for life

• E-mail technical support and support forum

200 watt solar panel units can cost as much as $1000 to $1500, but most of that cost is in labor or assembly. If you are willing to do the labor, (usually a weekend to put a couple of solar panels or 1 wind turbine together), you reduce your cost to much less than $200 rather than thousands of dollars. The assembly can be intimidating especially when you are working with expensive materials. I didn’t want to break anything during assembly or hook it up the wrong way and ruin the whole project. That’s why instruction videos are so important to me because it SHOWS me exactly how to do what the instructions, photos, and illustrations are telling me. The videos in the Green DIY Energy system are excellent and proves once again to me that you do not have to be a professional to make your own energy, anyone can do it!

If you decide to wire your energy system into your house, whatever electricity you don’t use goes back into the grid. When you are generating more power than what you are using, your electrical meter will run backwards! If you’ve given back more energy than you’ve used your power company will pay you instead of you paying them. They don’t pay nearly as much as you do however and you may want to store that power in deep cycle batteries. (Wiring your system into your local power grid will require installation by a certified electrician).

The Bad Stuff:

There’s no such thing as PERFECT and this product does have it’s shortcomings.

• Much of the information can be found on the internet. I have scoured Google for information on how to build your own PV panels and windmills and there is ton’s of information out there, but if you want a complete guide that takes you step by step with videos, plans, and sources for materials, you’ll need to purchase a complete system online.

• Inability to get a refund. There are a few people on the internet who have reported that they were unable to get a refund.  Unfortunately every one of those people could have gotten their refund if they only knew how.  You don’t need to get permission from the author to get your money back; all you have to do is ask for it by looking up your order and opening up a trouble-ticket through Clickbank.  Here’s the link: http://www.clickbank.com/orderDetail.htm?clear=true

• Getting off the grid can be expensive – Depending on your electricity needs, you may need to build several dozen PV panels to replace your power company for primary use.  That doesn’t mean that you can’t start saving now with just a couple of panels and then build your system up over time.  If you live in an area that’s often windy you can also offset your costs by building a wind turbine or two.

• Green DIY Energy seems expensive. Actually it’s competitively priced and well worth the cost for what you are getting.  Especially compared to other products on the market.  Even so I’ve added over $100 worth of bonus material that you can download as part of the package when you order through this website.  (See details below).

The Good Stuff:

• It works, plain and simple as that – Solar panels have been around for years and we know they work  and so do wind turbines.  This is proven technology and there is no reason on God’s green earth why we all can’t have our own free renewable energy.

• You can start your system with very little money and only a few hours of work - Anytime you want to expand your system it’s as easy as adding another panel or wind turbine and a few more batteries.

• Many people like to build portable systems for camping or travel - Free electricity can be harnessed anywhere.

• Building your own system can be fun and educational - I feel empowered knowing that I personally possess the technology to create electricity anytime I want.

• Excellent Video Production - The videos are professional quality with bright, well lighted environments and good audio quality.  I was impressed with the narraration and step-by-step instructions.  With Green DIY Energy, anyone that can watch a video and follow simple instructions can start benefiting from free renewable energy today.

• Worry-free assembly - Extreme care has been taken to make sure that safety is the highest priority in every aspect and step of the build process.

• Excellent Customer Service - I have endorsed Green DIY Energy for a few months now and unlike other products I’ve reviewed, I have not had one single complaint.

• Bonuses you won’t get anywhere else – including an exclusive parts supplier list, where to get batteries for cheap, how to consume less electricity and $100 in exclusive bonus materials when you buy from this website.

• Full 60 day 100% Money Back Guarantee – If you do happen to have a problem with Green DIY Energy and want a refund all you have to do is request one through Clickbank.  I know this works because I’ve done it myself with other products that I was not happy with.  Just make sure you save/print your receipt!

Summary:

From scratch to the finished product, this guide is all inclusive and explains everything and is a breeze to read. The illustrations are neat, professional and easy to follow. The videos are actually fun to watch and quite entertaining as well as educational.

One of the most important things that this system offers that the others lack, is customer support through e-mail and membership to a Green DIY Energy’s interactive forum where users can show and discuss their progress, challenges and solutions etc.

I also appreciate that Green DIY Energy is a member of the American Solar Energy Society and the Better Business Bureau. All transactions are made through a third party called ClickBank where you have a 60 day 100% money-back guarantee.

Conclusion:

After reviewing all the materials and reading the guides I have to say Green DIY Energy has really done a great job at creating a fine-tuned, well-polished product! Earth 4 Energy was #1. Now Green DIY Energy is #1! They’ve taken everything good about all the other guides and created a better product. If you are still on the fence, get off and go take a look!  Here’s the link: www.greendiyenergy.com
