Earth 4 Energy is the original DIY renewable energy guide which started this
whole craze, and it’s still the best for EASILY generating DIY renewable energy at home through building either your own solar cells or wind turbine on a budget.
Earth 4 Energy was the most informative and complete feeling guide out of all that we reviewed. This complete DIY energy kit shows you in great detail how to easily construct your own tools whether you go for the solar cells or the wind turbine or both for well under $200 or even less if you have the materials lying about your home. These are everyday materials, nothing fancy, so it’s entirely possible that you already have most of what you need.
The guide is the combination of a 90 page downloadable e-book (requires a PDF reader) and 7 professional videos to show you step by step how to build these tools from start to finish right away straight from your computer at home.
On top of all of that, the main website is full of useful information, videos, and testimonials from a great deal of actual home owners who have implemented in the information from this guide and have made their own working energy tools with great satisfaction and the moderators of the site and authors behind the guide are available to reach for help around the clock if you have any issues.
One of the best things to mention about this guide is that it’s THE most friendly guide we tested and then some, especially to the non technical among us and those of us who have difficulty with even the most basic DIY projects.
They tell you before you get into actually building the solar cells or windmills how much DIY energy you need to create to power your home based on your energy requirements and from there you learn what size/how many solar cells or windmills you need to fully power your home.
The Earth 4 Energy “e-kit” is priced at $49.97, and its creators are so confidant in your satisfaction and results that they offer an 8 week complete money back guarantee on your ability to use the information to build and implement fully functioning energy tools.

Below is a video taken directly from the main Earth 4 Energy website to explain more about the guide.
Green DIY Energy is comparable to Earth 4 Energy in that it also provides
easy to follow, fully illustrated and detailed instructions on developing your own DIY renewable energy tools, both the solar cells or a wind turbine. It also comes with companion videos which accompany the guide. Unfortunately the videos and illustrated instructions were lacking in the same feeling of quality overall.
Also priced at the moment at $49.97, when compared side by side to Earth 4 Energy this guide was lacking in a feeling of accessibility. After Earth 4 Energy makes it as simple as they do based on the material for building your own DIY renewable energy tools, there didn’t seem to be a reason for Green DIY Energy’s information to be presented in the more confusing manner which it came across as.

Home Made Energy’s goal is the provide the most simplified experience
for building your own solar cells or wind turbine.
As just mentioned, the authors of Home Made Energy seemed to be obsessed with accessibility when making their guide and stress that many times over. It provides information on solar cell and wind turbine production in e-book format but includes no accompanying videos which ultimately seems to make the process more difficult without the help of seeing how to do these things in real time video format.
This is one of the newer guides for teaching everyday people how to build their own tools, and it’s likely that with updates this guide will get better, but in the meantime it pales in comparison to the information and utilities supplied with Earth 4 Energy or Green DIY Energy.
