Both
of these e-books have excellent information on how to
take your first steps toward energy independence.
While
a few solar panels and a small wind power generator will
not provide all the power for your home, they are a great
start. You will learn what you can do now to move toward
energy independence, what it would take to go completely "off
the grid" to produce all of your own electricity,
and gain valuable insight into investing in emerging
alternative energy markets.
“The
web's best how-to guide on home power generation using
alternative energy, and the most complete and detailed
instructions for building a wind power generator.”
Earth
4 Energy covers both solar power and wind
power methods for supplementing your home’s electricity.
With the exception of a few typos, the book is well
written and illustrated. This product is comprised
of three sections:
The
Solar Power for the Home Section gives an introduction
and overview of the components needed to supplement your
home’s electricity with solar power. There are
detailed instructions and diagrams on assembling a storage
and distribution system for the power collected by the
wind power generator and solar panels. It includes tips
on how to find the best deals on components such as batteries
and solar panels and even get them for free!
The
Wind Power Generator for the Home Section describes how
to build your own small wind turbine for under $200,
using easily available parts and materials, and hook
it up to the power storage system from the first section.
The
third section talks about other types of alternative
energy for the home, ways to reduce your oil dependence,
links to more information on other types of renewable
energy, and some of the future possibilities for alternative
energy.

“A
comprehensive guide on the state of solar power today
and the best ways you can use solar power to save on
your energy bill”
Solar
Power Secrets focuses almost exclusively on
solar power methods and what is possible versus what
is practical today with solar energy. Solar Power Secrets
has no illustrations, photos or hyperlinks.
The
book covers the complete range of past and present solar
energy applications, from heating high-rise apartments
to solar water purification in the third world. There
are some confusing typos, and several chapters in the
latter sections are English grammar-challenged as if
the book was written by several people but, despite that,
the book does a good job of describing the state of solar
power today and the best methods to apply now to save
energy and money.
The
book also offers insights on how best to invest in the
different facets of the solar power industry, a glimpse
into emerging solar power markets, and the possible future
of solar energy.
The
product also includes a second E-book, Solar
Power Secrets 2, which includes more overview
information, specific information about home uses of
solar power and living “on the grid” – supplementing
your home’s electricity with solar power.
