Efficient Planet - An Honest Review

By Tim McDonald

Introduction

Efficient Planet is not just one energy guide, it's three! With 51 pages on how to make your wind power, 71 pages on building a solar panel system, and another 50 pages on saving power at home, this guide is a complete set of instructions and advice. But, where it falls short of its rival, Earth4Energy is that it has no video tutorials.

1 - Comprehensive Instructions

Because Efficient Planet is packed with so much information (over 175 pages), it is great value for money at only $49.97. Not to mention how easy the step-by-step plans are to follow.

2 - Additional free gifts

The Efficient Planet e-book comes with a number of useful free bonuses. This includes a 50 page guide on easy ways to reduce your power bill (valued at $49.97); and multimedia interviews with successful homeowners that have made their own home solar and wind power systems.

All customers also get a free copy of "Project Wealthy" - a 12-part home-study course on running your own home business efficiently; and some "undisclosed gifts"

3 - Instructions That Actually Work:

A useful feature of Efficient Planet, is that is has been broken up into 3 separate guides:

The first one is devoted to teaching you about solar power and how to make your own solar panels at home. But it also goes on to discuss the various types of solar you can employ at home, including solar heating, and solar roofing.

The second volume focuses on wind power and how to build a home wind turbine. It also exposes 10 common myths about wind power, by giving you the cold, hard facts.

The final part is devoted to showing you how to easily save power at home and thus reduce your power bill. Although we knew most of what it tells you to do, it really complemented the rest of the Efficient Planet series, with the goal of becoming more energy efficient.

Dislikes

1: Lack Of Video Tutorials

Just when we thought Efficient Planet was the best energy guide on the market, we realized it has absolutely no video instruction. Many people that are technology inclined will struggle to just follow the written plans and diagram to build their first solar or wind power system. It would have been so much easier if we could watch it being built step-by-step.

2: Just another DIY energy guide

Efficient Planet seems to be the same old rehashed information. Diy energy guides are appearing all over the place these days, and this guide does not seem to be any different to rest. However, with that being said, where Efficient Planet excels is that gives it customers a number of free extras, that make it better value for money as compared to Homemade Energy or Homemade Power Plant.

Verdict:

Efficient Planet is a comprehensive set of advice and instruction on enjoying efficient living at home. Yes, this guide will eventually show the average Joe how to build a working solar and wind power system, but like the other energy guides out there, it lacks the video instruction that Earth4Energy provides. The bonuses make it great value for money, so it gets our #2 rating overall.
