How To Choose A Renewable Energy Guide

Renewable energy guides are very popular these days. They provide plans and instructions showing readers how to construct their DIY solar and wind power systems. Many of these guides are sold online and cost anything between $47 and $99.

With each renewable energy system, users can look forward to tapping on solar and wind power to provide the electricity needed to support household appliances. This translates to more electric bill savings and a greener lifestyle.

With so many different retailers marketing different versions of guides, it can be quite confusing for users who are interested in acquiring a copy. Which one should you choose?

All in all, we came across at least a dozen of such guides. Frankly, after trying and evaluating all of them, we are able to come to a few conclusions.

1. They all discuss about how to create solar panels and wind turbines

It is obvious to us that solar and wind power are the most common form of renewable energy tapped on.

2. There are energy saving tips within the guides

Since these are all energy guides, this section is appropriate and to be expected.

However, we realized that not all guides come complete with detailed diagrams and plans. Some are in fact poorly written and incomplete. In fact, out of about 12 we reviewed, only 7 of them offer sufficient details for us to complete our projects.

The systems explained do vary in their setups but not to a huge extent. However, not all are equally efficient and the cost of construction does vary.

From our experience with applying these guides, we are able to formulate a checklist you should use when you shop for your renewable energy guide.

1. Efficiency of Power Systems

Go for a guide that details power systems that can help you cut down 80% or more of your electric bills.

2. Cheap to Build

One of the key criteria is the affordability of the power systems. If it is too costly to build, then you should give it a miss. We found guides that can teach you to build solar panels for less than $200 and a wind turbine for as little as $100.

3. Ease of Use

The guide has to be easy to understand. Diagrams and illustrations are important. If the instructions are not clear, it is difficult for you to get started.

4. Payment Handled By a Secured Payment Processor

Check which payment processor is handling the payment. Established companies such as Clickbank and Paypal are secured and safe to use.

5. Positive User Testimonials

Needless to say, if users are providing positive feedback about the product, it gives you a firm level of confidence.

Based on these 5 conditions, it will help you to find the best renewable energy guide for you.
