Miller Britzke (Alternative Energy Engineer) Helps Large Businesses
and Homes to Convert to Green Power
I am an engineer who works with corporations to help them go green by
converting to solar and wind energy. I know what it takes to create an
alternative energy plan that works, and I know how to implement those
plans.
As an engineer who works in the realm of alternative energy, there is
one thing that often surprises me.The range of quality of information
on how to go green is simply astounding. At least once a week, someone
will ask me how they can learn how to convert their home, and
answering that question can be difficult.
Simply put, there are literally hundreds of products out there that
teach you how to switch a home to solar or wind generated energy. When
you look at these products though, only a few of them are worth
anything. Converting a home using professionals is an expensive
proposition. To compensate many are turning to do-it-yourself books
and making the move to go green on their own. With the wide range of
information available, let's first discuss what a go-green learning
package is and is not.
First, a program that teaches you to convert your home is NOT the only
thing you need. To make the actual conversion you'll still need to
follow the guide to building solar panels or windmills or both.
Second, NOT every home is appropriate for green conversion. If you
live in an condo for example you don't have the surface area for solar
panels, or the land needed to setup a windmill.
Third, a package that teaches you how to convert your home IS an
excellent way to reduce and even get rid of that month power bill. In
fact, if you do it right you'll likely generate more energy than you
use, and the power company will have to pay you for the power you feed
back into the grid. Best of all, if you choose the right methods to
convert your home it can be done for very little cost to you.
Fourth, if you don't take the time to choose the right learning tools
then you're just wasting your money. You even run the risk of creating
problems for yourself when your real estate value drops due to the non-
working solar panels that are covering the roof. Choosing the right
tool to learn with is the most important step!
To help you choose a green power package that works, along with some
friends, I have worked to evaluate the top five learning products on
the market today. We based my evaluations on the following criteria.
Green Power - Obviously our main goal from any power generation
project is to generate power. We tested how much power each solar
panel and windmill could actually generate.
Ease of Building - With a package that teaches how to convert a home,
the material should be clearly laid out, and the components should be
simple to build.
Instructional Value - From the above criteria we gave higher ratings
to those learning packages that taught us how to go green with ease.
The best packages had everything clearly explained, drawn blueprints,
and then further explained with how-to videos.
Cost Involved - The main reason people choose to convert their home
themselves is to save money. We gave much higher ratings to the
packages that taught us how to find parts for less.
Availability of Parts - Some of the learning packages we tested
recommended parts that weren't available. We gave higher marks to
those that used parts that were available to anyone (such as at your
local hardware store)
Time Involved - How long did it take to build each component. We found
this had a lot to do with how well the material was explained, but
some of the plans just weren't simple enough.
Overall Rating - From the above factors we gave each package an
overall rating. To follow you will find our ratings for the top five
products that can teach you how to go green. With each of our
evaluations we did take the time to build each component that the book/
video suggested, and in the process we converted a home. I have many
friends who have been bugging me to help them go green. Over a two
month period of time (working on the weekends), that's exactly what I
did. They paid for the parts and put in most of the work, I paid for
the learning materials and helped them along the way. The clear winner
from our evaluations was Earth 4 Energy, but the other four products
that made the top five didn't fair too badly either. My
recommendations are clearly laid out below, but if you do need any
help choosing a package, don't hesitate to email me
(a1se...@aol.com) and I will answer any questions that you may
have.Once you have your home running on green power, please do let me
know (email above). I enjoy hearing stories from others who have
worked to choose the environmentally friendly route to power their
homes. To saving money and the environment, http://www.myhighqualityproducts.com/goinggreen/
