If you are interested in building your own solar panels, you may want to consider purchasing a DIY solar panel guide, like green DIY energy, earth 4 energy, or power 4 home. It is a great buy for those who want to build their own panels, but need some guidance along the way. It has guides, manuals and tutorial videos that walk you through the entire process.

Before you hop in and buy power tools, ask yourself whether a set of simple hand tools will do the job. You will be surprised how much work can be done by a common set of handsaw and a chisel. Therefore, think well before you buy expensive power tools that could be of no use once you get your home renovation work done. But, if you foresee more use of DIY tools in the years to come, buy the best available brands in the market that will give long life and lasting value.

Another solid guide you may be interested in is Earth 4 Energy. It is similar to Green DIY Energy in that it provides manuals and video tutorials about building solar panels and wind turbines. It has roughly the same amount of info and costs about the same as well.

One of the nice things about green DIY energy is the video library. These videos are professionally done and serve as great visual examples of what you need to be doing during every step of the construction process. They follow the guide as he constructs his own panels and he does a great job of narrating and explaining what he is doing the entire time.

I definitely am partial to DIY guides (mainly because I'm a bit inept when it comes to building things!), but that definitely doesn't mean that you must have a guide to build your solar panels.

However, again, if you are like most people, you do not have extensive knowledge on solar panels and their energy systems, let alone how to construct and implement one in your home. That is why choosing a helpful DIY energy system guide is a wise choice for the weekend DIYer who wants to build his or her own energy system.

The one thing that is lacking in these videos, is a video covering rooftop installation. I really would have liked to see a video covering the mounting of solar panels onto the roof. It is covered in the manuals, but not in the videos.

I wish it told me where to get the materials. It does a nice job of laying out exactly what parts and materials I will need, but it doesn't tell me where to purchase them. But it really isn't that big of a deal, most everything I'm sure I can find at Lowe's or Home Depot, but I wish it told me where to find the photovoltaic cells. But with a little Internet shopping, I should find them easily.

I hope this short article clearly communicates to you why Green DIY Energy is the green energy guide with the highest value. Good luck in your DIY projects, and have fun!

But, overall, I am definitely happy with my purchase, and am ready to get started on the project! I'll keep you informed of my progress.
