"Still the best Home Energy
Product in 2008-2009..."
By far the
easiest-to-follow kit we came across - our own
experience says you should set aside maybe half a
day to buy the parts and get it fully installed. The
author of the website - Alex Roberts (and his
homemade technology) - has been recently
featured on The Post Chronicle and NY Times!
This kit includes information for generating energy
using solar panels and wind turbines.
This is
the only kit that assumes absolutely no knowledge
about power engineering. Impressively, our support
ticket was responded to in under an hour (although
it could take a little longer at weekends), and
there is an unconditional 8 week money-back
guarantee.
Best of
all, the technology required is readily available
and cheap -
we (DIY review team) were able to access all the parts
needed for well under $100. Given that its proven to
decrease the power bill by as much as 90%, in some
cases even completely, you could well recoup your
investment in under two weeks.
The
installation can be done on any kind of
house or building. Self Made Solar Energy is aimed squarely at
electricity "novices", and it is still our
top pick for 2008-2009.
June
2009 Update
: there
is now a promotion running on the site, and it is
temporarily available for $47 instead of $197 - as such, we recommend ordering
sooner rather than later.
The Verdict:
Fast and easy setup; works for complete novices; proven power savings of up to
90% - our top pick
Risk free: SMSE offers a 56 day money
back guarantee
