A Real Review of Earth4Energy

I just bought the Earth4Energy package for $50, a "special" that, as far as I can tell, is perpetual. I looked all over for a real review of this material. Looking all over consists of googling "earth4energy reviews" and looking at least through page 2 of the results. I didn't find any review that looks real and substantive. So, I bit anyway, even though there is a buttload (that IS a real unit of measure) of free DIY solar stuff all over the web. But the (shill-looking) reviews for Earth4Energy (E4E) roped me in with hopes of centralized, organized, quick acting info.

I just now downloaded all the ebooks and quicktime movies and started looking. Too soon to say if I'm satisfied. So far I'm not super impressed, but not disgusted or dissatisfied. I will be going through the material to see how well it will meet my goals of:

Learning how to make my own solar panels:
1. cost effectively for total system cost (not just per panel)
2. in order to be able to pay back in energy generation within a few years
3. that look good and not like home made clunky junk
4. that I can add to my existing grid tied system

I also need enough information to know how to properly design panels for my existing grid tied system:
size, power, etc etc. And I need to be able to figure enough about the the existing infrastructure (inverter, other bits and whatever) to know how much additional capacity it can handle and whatever else I don't even know I need to know....

So far, the video about adding panels to a grid tied system was not about the system engineering and all about caveat emptor:
Get a professional
Check out the professional
Learn and meet your local codes
Be careful with electricity
Don't be careless with electricity
Electricity is dangerous
Don't run with scissors
etc

I've only just started looking over the material, and I understand there are some CD's coming in the mail. I'm hoping (because I did pay for this stuff and would love to declare that it was a smart move) that my questions are all well answered in the materials that I haven't looked at yet. Hopefully there won't also be a SLAPP suit for me to stop writing a review. I did read the part in the user agreement (that nobody really reads) about how I'm not supposed to copy any of the material. Just FYI, that summary of the "adding solar panels" movie is definitely NOT verbatim. Didn't notice if the agreement said anything about a blunt review.

I'll update the review as I go through the material. I suppose I can't promise I won't eventually decide the package is great and put a link to it in my material and hope to get rich, retire early, and make so much on my cut of the sales that I can just unplug the solar panels and PAY MARKET RATE for electricity. BUT.... that certainly remains to be seen.
