Rip off!,
Warning:
This is a 50 page BOOKLET. I thought I had just read the intro… but no, that was it… the whole book(let) was read in 20 minutes.
A good and simplified plan to get started planning a solar energy home, but not worth $4.99.
Rip off!

|Basic But Useful,
Because the concepts of “living off the grid” and “killing your debt” seem like daunting tasks, I was surprised at how short this booklet was. I expected a long book outlining processes that would take years to implement. I was pleasantly surprised at the brevity and simplicity of what was summarized. This is a basic guide (booklet) that gives one example of a step-by-step process of building a system that will sustain a household on free energy. It begins with giving a few educational definitions and examples of all the different types of fuels available both conventional & alternative. Unfortunately, because the beginning of this booklet has some typos, spelling errors, incomplete sentences and grammatically incorrect sentences, it’s challenging to read; however, the content is quite informative.
The second half of this booklet is one family’s step-by-step process of what they implemented and built for their household to have fully self- sustainable energy. It reads almost like an instruction manual which is much more reader-friendly than the first half. Along the way examples of alternative options are given, along with formulas to calculate individual household wattage needs.
What is fantastic about how this is written is that it was perfectly understandable for someone who is desiring to know more about renewable energy and going “Green” but who thinks the proposition of actually converting a home would be too Herculean. This author explains how easy it is, precisely how to put it together and also where to get the materials.
Two minor issues I had :
1. I can always do without the fear mongering of Global Warming and although it is only touched on, it was a little bit of a turn off. I want to go Green because it is better for the planet and fiscally better on the pocket, especially when thinking about retirement.
2. The typos, spelling errors, incorrect grammar and also the Kindle format made the first half of it a challenge to follow.
But the benefits from reading the content of this booklet far exceeded any issue I had. I learned constructive information, as well as, valuable resources, which made this purchase worth the 3.99.
