Helps Large Businesses to Convert to Green Power
I am an engineer who works with corporations to help them go green by
converting to solar and wind energy. I know what it takes to create an
alternative energy plan that works, and I know how to implement those
plans.
As an engineer who works in the realm of alternative energy, there is one thing that often surprises me.The range of quality of information on how to go green is simply astounding. At least once a
week, someone will ask me how they can learn how to convert their home, and answering that question can be difficult.
First
a program that teaches you to convert your home is NOT the only thing
you need. To make the actual conversion you'll still need to follow the
guide to building solar panels or windmills or both.
Second
NOT every home is appropriate for green conversion. If you live in an condo for example you don't
have the surface area for solar panels, or the land needed to setup a windmill.
Third
a package that teaches you how to convert your home IS an excellent way to reduce and even get rid of
that month power bill. In fact, if you do it right you'll likely generate more energy than you use, and
the power company will have to pay you for the power you feed back into the grid. Best of all, if you choose the right methods to convert your home it can be done for very little cost to you.
Fourth
if you don't take the time to choose the right learning tools then you're just wasting your money. You even run the risk of creating problems for yourself when your real estate value drops due to the non-working solar panels that are covering the roof. Choosing the right tool to learn with is the most important step!
To help you choose a green power package that works, along with some friends, I have worked to evaluate the top five learning products on the market today. We based my evaluations on the following criteria.

To help you choose a green power package that works, along with some friends, I have worked to evaluate the top five learning products on the market today. We based my evaluations on the following criteria.
- Green Power - Obviously our main goal from any power generation project is to generate power. We tested how much power each solar panel and windmill could actually generate.
- Ease of Building - With a package that teaches how to convert a home, the material should be clearly laid out, and the components should be simple to build.
- Instructional Value - From the above criteria we gave higher ratings to those learning packages that taught us how to go green with ease. The best packages had everything clearly explained, drawn blueprints, and then further explained with how-to videos.
- Cost Involved - The main reason people choose to convert their home themselves is to save money. We gave much higher ratings to the packages that taught us how to find parts for less.
- Availability of Parts - Some of the learning packages we tested recommended parts that weren't available. We gave higher marks to those that used parts that were available to anyone (such as at your local hardware store)
- Time Involved - How long did it take to build each component. We found this had a lot to do with how well the material was explained, but some of the plans just weren't simple enough.
- Overall Rating - From the above factors we gave each package an overall rating.
I have many friends who have been bugging me to help them go green. Over a two month period of time (working on the weekends), that's exactly what I did. They paid for the parts and put in most of the work, I
paid for the learning materials and helped them along the way.
paid for the learning materials and helped them along the way.
Once you have your home running on green power, please do let me know
(email above). I enjoy hearing stories from others who have worked to
choose the environmentally friendly route to power their
homes.

In Summary: For clearly laid out material, the lowest cost of building, a complete Internet TV series, and the best power generation out of any guide we tested, we are recommending Green Power Easy as our top pick. No other package we tested made going green so easy.

Highly Recommended2. Earth 4 Energy
In
second place we have an eBook package called Earth 4 Energy. Previously this one was in top spot, but with Green Power Easy coming to market it got beat out (by far).
The
Earth 4 Energy package again consists of both eBooks and videos that
work to teach you how to convert your home. The material is clearly
laid out (although not quite as well as Green Power Easy) and the
instructions are simple to follow.
When
we tested the components that we built using this system the power
generated by the solar panels and the windmill did match that of our
winner.
The
only complaint I had about this package was its focus. While Green Power Easy teaches you how to build and implement an alternative energy
system for an entire home, this one focuses more on the individual
components. It does get into converting the whole home, but it isn't
explained as well as with our winner.

Highly Recommended3. Home Made Energy
In third place we have Home Made Energy. Overall this package is worth the money you spend to get it, but it just isn't written as well as our top two picks.
The
Home Made Energy package again consists eBooks and videos that
work to teach you how to convert your home. The material is fairly well laid out, but the images lack a little compared to Green Power Easy.
You will be able to build solar panels, or build wind turbines with Home Made Energy, but you wouldn't be able to perform a whole home conversion. If your only purpose is to build a single panel/turbine to supplement your homes energy requirements, I may suggest this one.
Even then though, the images/videos in Green Power Easy are better. And, with the availabillity of Green Power Easy TV, Home Made Energy is simply lacking in content compared to the top pick.

Also Recommended4. Energy 4 GreenThe third product on our list is Energy 4 Green. This one isn't a bad product, but it didn't fair as well as the first two on our list. I think that this one failed mostly because of the way things are explained.Energy 4 Green uses the same types of parts, and suggests some of the same methods to build, but they don't explain how to put it together as well. Eventually we did get it all together, and it worked but it wasn't simple. When we used this one to convert a home I helped my friend get started, and then he worked to build more of the solar panels we required. He ended up having to buy extra parts to make them work, and the power generated in the end didn't quite match that of the first two. All in all this one isn't bad. The home did get converted, and it is generating enough power to run the entire home, but simply for easy of learning I would recommend the first two learning packages before Energy 4 Green. |
