Overview: Efficient Planet is a new ebook out there on the market. It is without a doubt a strong contender to Earth4Energy. The detailed step by step information. well presented diagrams 
and illustrations are a tough match for Earth4Energy. I would say that at some parts (especially when it comes to making your own wind generated turbine) Efficient Planet is actually better than Earth 4 Energy. What still makes it #2 is the fact it does not provide instructional videos, which are extremely helpful for the first timer. Another downer is the support level. You can expect a quick reply to your email request, but expect a very generic answer. So if your getting into trouble, it's better you contact your local handy man (or me).
What You Get: 71 Pages Ebook on creating your own home made solar panels & 51 pages ebook on creating your wind powered turbine. For a Limited Time Efficient Planet are offering you a free 50 page guide on efficient living, IRS rebate forms and an exclusive parts list (the parts in the list still cost me more than 100$, so I suggest after a few practices you follow your own intuition on finding bargain parts as I do). You also get audio and video interviews with other DIYers that have built their own solar panels or wind turbine (rather useless bonus in my opinion). Another bonus that was just added is 'Project Wealthy' – a kit that teaches you everything about running your own efficient home business (I found it to be a tad lacking in terms of actually going into the gist of creating your own renewable energy business).
Guarantee: The usual 8 weeks, money back guarantee.
Prior Knowledge Required: None. The step by step instructions provided are easy to follow and understand even for a complete novice. The diagrams and illustrations are well presented and explained in an easy to understand manner. As I stated this guide sure gives our number #1 pick – Earth4Energy a run for it's money. However, the lack of video instructions is what makes me pick this as #2 (a strong runner up without a doubt).
Customer Support: As I stated – quick reply but expect a very generic (and not very helpful) answer.
Parts Cost: Around $200, the same as most other DIY solar & wind powered renewable energy guides.
My Verdict. Efficient Planet is a solid make your own solar panels guide. It provides all the information you'll need to create your first solar panels and wind turbine generator. The lack of videos make it my second pick for complete beginners. However the bonus offered do have some monetary value. If you an experienced handy man, confident of your abilities to mange on your own without tech support and you find the above stated bonuses to be desirable, then perhaps you'd prefer Efficient Planet over Earth 4 Energy.
