Hi Everyone,
I wanted to write this blog post because there has been a lot of discussion about Power 4 Home e-book being a scam. Firstly, I wouldn’t want to say whether anyone is right or wrong on this matter. Everyone has the right to their personal opinion
What do I think about Power4 Home? Do I think it’s a scam? The truth is, I am pretty neutral on this subject.
I think the main difference here is the “expectation” of the buyer. Can you really make a solar power or wind generator system for less than $200 as proclaimed in Power 4 Home? It is difficult but not impossible.
Most of the parts such as the solar cells, batteries, power converter, cables etc are pretty expensive. It will cost a lot of money if you were to buy them from a hardware store.
Do you know you can get them for free or at a fraction of the cost? There are a lot of used of recycle parts that you can find if you are willing to do the work.
Are you willing to spend 2 weeks sourcing for damaged solar cells, fix them and use it on your home solar array? Some people are not willing to do that. It takes too much time and effort.
Are you willing to go to a golf course, talk to the electric golf cart maintenance technician and strike a deal with him so he’ll trade you the old deep cycle batteries? Some people choose not to do that.
All this are steps that you have to take in order to minimize your DIY renewable energy project. The author of Power 4 Home did mentioned you can setup a solar panel for less than $200, as long as you follow his suggestion.
Power4 Home E-book Guarantee
I also read a discussion on the web where a person claims that Power4 Home is a scam because he is unable to get a refund. Honestly, I find this hard to believe.
Power 4 Home is offered under Clickbank and they have a no question ask 60 days Money Back Guarantee for all of their information products.
Some information product publishers complain about this Clickbank policy because they refund without any valid reasons. As long as you send them an email together with your purchase receipt, they will refund your money. Clickbank does millions of dollar in turnover every year. Their reputation is much more important to them.
If someone who has bought Power 4 Home and was unable to get a refund, there may be a few reasons for that. The buyer may not know that you have to go back to Clickbank to get a refund. If they were to pester the guys behind Power4 Home website, you won’t get your money back because they are not authorized to do so. The published has already paid Clickbank a percentage to handle all complaints and refunds.
What Is Your Expectation?
Before I end this post, I want to reiterate that the issue of labeling Power 4 Home as a scam boils down to our “expectation”. Some people think they can cut their home power consumption by half just by purchasing a $49.97 e-book. I doubt that is going to happen.
Most of us would not have the skill, tools or knowledge to make a functional solar power or wind energy system for our home. It is a better idea to engage a professional contractor.
As a home owner, we should be prudent. We should at least get some basic information on the science of a home solar power system. At least with this knowledge, you will know when you are being charge of unnecessary parts or work done by the contractor. If you have that kind of requirement or expectation, then the Power 4 Home e-book would be a good fit for you.
