Over the past year a lot of diy energy guides have appeared on the internet, promising to teach even a complete technical newbie how to make their own home solar and wind power, and reduce their energy bills by up to 80%. One those guides happens to be Make Natural Power. But does it deliver what is promises? And is how does it stack up to the other guides?
The only thing I liked about Make Natural Power was its cover. Everything else was completely useless. On the outside it looked like it had all the features, but the advice was very limited and not that helpful.

I have that the one positive I got out this guide is that it is possible to build a home solar power and wind turbine system, but only if you have previous diy experience and know a lot about things such as wiring, using various tools and material, and fixing things properly to your roof.
Why it disappointed us:
* Poor diagrams
The drawings were very poor. They were dull, incorrectly labeled, and not even scaled down properly.
* Useless solar power
Since the diagrams and instructions were difficult to follow, the reader has to make too many assumptions resulting in a low-quality solar panel, if any at all.
* Poor maintenance advice
We eventually did get our windmill to work, however, since the maintenance instructions were so incomplete, our wind turbine only managed to last 2 months, until it finally seized. It turns out they forgot to tell us how to make the windmill weather-proof.
* Customer support is really slow
Many times during the build we need help from customer support. But it took forever for them to reply, so when we did get a response, we had already solves the issue on our own, or we had completely forgotten why we had contacted them. Generally it will take you 5 days to get any help from them.
Conclusion
Make Natural Power at home was obviously created by someone trying to copy Earth4Energy, and it shows in the guide. It was badly written, incomplete, and an absolute waste of our time. - 31812
