One of the top home renewable energy guides on the web right now is John Russel’s Power4 Home e-book. The manual has been selling by the hundreds of copy every month.

Even though it is a best seller, many people are still not very sure about the manual. Some even think Power4Home is nothing but a scam.

So what is Power4Home? The writer of the DIY solar energy guide is John Russel. John is a 46 year old home energy expert from Minnesota. John wrote the manual with one goal:-  to teach people how to reduce their home energy consumption without spending a lot of money.

In the home solar guide, Power4Home promised to show its reader how to make a DIY solar panel with a budget of less than $200. Can it be done?

If you are willing to follow the instructions in the e-book to the letter, chances are, you will be able to make the solar module for less than $150.

However, before you make any decision, be prudent. Do not believe everything you read on the internet. Contrary to what the sale copy may say in the web site, building your own solar module is not an easy task. It takes a lot of time, patience and dedication.

You will also need to have some basic knowledge of electrical components and diagram. You must have some carpentry skill and know how to use a multi-meter and a soldering iron. These are the prerequisite skills required to complete a DIY solar panel project at the suggested budget.

Nonetheless, if you are facing the issue of high home energy bill, your best option right now is to supplement your home energy needs with solar power. To harness the free energy from the sun, the cheapest solution is with a homemade solar power system. The Power4Home e-book provides all the instructions and blueprint you’ll need.

Solar energy is gaining popularity among the alternative energy solutions. The main reason solar is becoming so popular is the abundance of solar energy available. Solar power can be used daily for cooking, lighting, and heating systems in your home. Here are the four advantages of having your own solar power system.

1. Green Solution – Solar power is a green energy solution that requires no additional fuel other than light from the sun and more importantly nothing harmful is released into the earth’s atmosphere.

2. Cheapest Solution – Solar energy is the cheapest alternative energy. It has some initial equipment cost but a few years after installation you will have free energy from the sun and say goodbye to the bills from the power company.
