DIY alternative energy projects are fast gaining acceptance as a viable way to generate energy for our homes without the expense and environmental harm that traditional energy sources bring.

DIY alternative energy projects have always been a source of pleasure for the handy person and often the whole family, combine that with savings made from reducing your power bill and the knowledge you are contributing or if you like “doing your bit” to help the environment and I think you will agree that DIY alternative energy projects make a lot of sense.

Currently there are two major DIY alternative energy projects you can undertake that are straight forward to put together and make a real difference to both the environment and helping you to slash energy bills. Best of they both can be built from materials available at your local hard ware store for under $200!.

The two projects I am referring to are DIY Solar Power and DIY Wind Power projects.

One company, earth4energy, have released a DIY guide that shows you how to assemble both these projects!. Using video, hand books and illustrations the blueprint you need to build these projects is available online for digital download. This means you could have your DIY project under way in a few minutes.

Both projects will provide a wealth of education and fun for the whole family, particularly if you have children they will enjoy helping put together the project and the lessons they learn about saving money, being self sufficient and saving the environment are invaluable.
