Is Buying Make Natural Power A Safe Bet?
So you have decided to build your own home solar power and home wind turbine. You have searched the internet and come across the Make Natural Power guide. But does it really work? And is it the best diy energy guide out there? Let me tell you what I think of it.
The only thing I liked about Make Natural Power was its cover. Everything else was completely useless. On the outside it looked like it had all the features, but the advice was very limited and not that helpful.
What I Liked about it:
The only thing I liked about it was that you can eventually build your own solar panels and wind turbine, but it will take you forever if you are not technologically inclined.
The Cons about getting the guide:
* Poor diagrams
The drawings were very poor. They were dull, incorrectly labeled, and not even scaled down properly.
* Useless solar power
The instructions were not easy to follow, and the illustrations did not help either. Because of this, the reader is required to figure things out on their own, resulting in a useless solar panel system, if it ever get finished.
* Poor maintenance advice
We eventually did get our windmill to work, however, since the maintenance instructions were so incomplete, our wind turbine only managed to last 2 months, until it finally seized. It turns out they forgot to tell us how to make the windmill weather-proof.
* Slow customer support
Many times during the build we need help from customer support. But it took forever for them to reply, so when we did get a response, we had already solves the issue on our own, or we had completely forgotten why we had contacted them. Generally it will take you 5 days to get any help from them.
Verdict
If you are willing to get a cheap knock-off of Earth4Energy, but for the same price, then by all means get the Make Natural Power guide. The book was terribly written, the instructions were confusing, and it was not a pleasant experience for me.
Tim McDonald recommends you rather try Earth4Energy for FREE, if you want to build a quality DIY Renewable Energy system and actually reduce your electricity bill.
