Home Made Power Plant Review – Is It Worth It?

Quick Summary
Before starting to read the Home Made Power Plant guide, we thought the claims were far-fetched and too good to be true, but once we received the download, the advice was accurate and easy to follow. If you you are one those do-it-yourself type of people, you will love this guide – but you may have to figure a few things out on your own, since support was quick but not very helpful in their reply.
What we like about it:
1: Quality diagrams
Homemade Power Plant had, in our opinion, real quality drawings. The solar plans were well labeled, full-color, very much to scale and simple to follow. And they were actually large enough to see the important details.
2: Awesome free gifts
The information on the maintaining the systems, and getting the legal aspects of the systems sorted out was comprehensive and useful. We particularly liked the strategies of saving power – they were so simple, yet most of us overlook them. And the best part is, these tips have already helped us save hundreds of dollars over the past 4 months.
3: Adds value to your home
Okay, this actually applies to any of the top 3 guides, but we thought it is worth mentioning. We had heard that installing renewable energy systems at home adds value to your property. So, we put this to the test by getting a valuation done before and after installation. The results were quite astonishing! With just 2 solar panel systems and 2 wind turbines our house had increased in value by almost $6,000. In fact, the valuer actually thought we had hired a professional to install our systems – but we didn’t tell him that
The Negatives:
1 – Miscommunication with customer support
We had a small concern on the best way to get the wiring for the solar panel system done. Although customer support was quick to reply, they simply said, “Go back and look in the guide, since it is all there.” What they did not understand was that our situation was different to what is explained in the guide. Since they were no help, we eventually figured it out ourselves.
Verdict
With the best drawings, and helpful free advice, Homemade Power Plant was well written enough for someone with limited technical know-how to follow. The instructions were rather simple to understand, and though customer support could not help us, at least they replied relatively quickly.
