Backyard Revolution is an online program designed to help people save over 65% on their electricity bills by teaching them how to create an affordable solar panel system. A solar panel system? I know you’re thinking that’s far too expensive for you to do but just wait. The average cost for a residential 5kW solar panel system costs between $3 and $4 per watt, according to studies. This results in a total cost of $15,000 – $25,000, a price that is far too steep for many people. However, that is the average for a typical system. Backyard Revolution teaches you how to create your own solar panel system in as little as four hours and for a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. It was created specifically to allow anyone and everyone to reduce their carbon footprint and electricity bills. No fancy equipment or expensive equipment is needed. You don’t even need to have electrical experience, as everything can be done (and afforded) by the average person.

What is Backyard Revolution?
Studies conducted by MIT researchers found that the traditional solar panel systems that are super large and expensive waste approximately 85-95% of the solar energy they receive. They take up a ton of space – in both your yard and bank account, cost a ton of money to build, are difficult to install, and they don’t even work as well as you would expect. But it isn’t all bad news; the same MIT researchers discovered that, when designed in a zigzag pattern, there was almost zero energy wasted. This means that you can receive more solar energy while using smaller, more affordable solar panels.
Backyard Revolution is an online program designed to help people benefit from this revolutionary discovery. It’s based on the same MIT research and simplified into terms and steps that allow anyone and everyone to understand and implement. With this program, you’re guided through the steps to creating your own solar panel system using the zigzag pattern. The steps are so straightforward that you can build your system – from start to finish – in as little as four hours. No fancy equipment or electrical experience is needed either, as the system uses affordable, accessible materials that can be found at your local hardware store. Backyard Revolution also provides detailed steps along the way, complete with pictures, diagrams, shopping lists, video tutorials, and much more. I’ll delve into the details in just a moment but for now, here’s a quick look at what you can expect.

The system is also supported by a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee. This gives you two months to try the program, risk-free. So, if you aren’t sure you have what it takes to create your very own solar panel system and at an affordable price, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try. You also have the potential to save more than 65% on your electricity bills moving forward and that’s priceless.
Who Created Backyard Revolution?
Zack Bennett is the author of Backyard Revolution and what may surprise you is that he’s just a regular guy. Like you and I, Zack has no prior experience working with solar panels or energy sources. However, after having his home burglarized during a power outage, Zack was determined to ensure he and his family never have to go through a similar experience again. This is when he started looking into MIT research and ultimately, created his own solar panel system. This program is a simplified version of the exact steps he took.
Quick Overview of Backyard Revolution
Backyard Revolution is a straight-forward program that teaches you how to create your own solar panel system using the zigzag pattern MIT researchers found to produce maximum energy. The program starts with a quick introduction before diving into the steps that guide you through the entire process – from buying the materials to testing out the final product.
You only need 5% of surface area to implement this system and everything else can be found and followed in this guide. It includes simplified steps, tables, tool images, detailed diagrams, accurate measurements, video tutorials, material lists, shopping lists and much more.

Our Opinion
Advantages of the Program
Electricity is the most expensive utility bill, so the first advantage to using Backyard Revolution is having the ability to cut your electricity bill in half – more than half – a 65% reduction. This benefit goes without saying.
When it comes to learning and implementing the system, there are many benefits to be found there as well. It was surprisingly easy, thanks to the detailed steps, measurements, guidelines, photos, diagrams and videos. Everything is so carefully described, making it really easy to follow along and understand each step. Even the list of materials and tools come with photos, so if you don’t know what something is, you can just look at the photo of each item and go from there. This brings me to another advantage – the digital download. We’re so used to having manuals laying around the house as this was always standard practice, so it can feel weird using a digital version at first. However, this actually comes with many benefits as it ensures easy, quick and convenient access to the steps wherever and whenever you need. You can head to the hardware store and pull up the program on your tablet to see the items you need to pick up, to the tool shop to do the same or to your house, garage, backyard or all of the above. As long as you have your tech device, you have the content there for you. It sure beats lugging a big manual around – or worse, getting to the shop only to realize you forgot it.
The money back guarantee is also wonderful. You can try it out, risk-free. If you decide you’d rather go back to paying full price for electricity for whatever reason, you have two months to decide.
Lastly, the greatest benefit is having a reliable source of energy. It gives you peace of mind that money really can’t buy.
Disadvantages of the Program
There are no disadvantages to using Backyard Revolution. It is very straightforward and gets right to business. However, it is a manual/building tutorial so the topic is fairly dry. The good news is that you aren’t using this program to be entertained; you’re using it to create an affordable and renewable energy source. So, the dry couple of hours it takes to build the solar panel system is worth it at the end of the day.
Conclusion
Backyard Revolution is a powerful program – pardon the pun – that teaches you how to create your own solar panel system, so you can drastically reduce your carbon footprint and electricity bills. You only need 5% surface area and around $200 for all of the materials, which is a small price to pay for the long-term savings you can receive. Every step is detailed and comes with accurate measurements, descriptions, lists, photos, and diagrams, so you can easily follow along and implement. And hey, with the 60 Day Money Back Guarantee, you can give it a try risk-free.
FAQs
The incredible thing about Backyard Revolution is that you don’t need any electrical or carpentry experience. It’s specifically designed so that anyone can use it, regardless of their skill set – or lack of. So, all of the steps are simplified into easy-to-understand terms and come with detailed descriptions and diagrams that show you exactly what to do. It also comes with video tutorials, so you can watch and follow along if you’d prefer that option. Lastly, you can always hire a professional to assemble it for you, and you’d still be saving a significant amount of money than if you hired a solar panel company.
The solar panel system receives power from the solar cells, which is then stored in batteries. From there, the power goes through an inverter and then to your home.
The amount of power your system can generate depends on a variety of factors, such as how many solar cells you use, the temperature and sunlight, and so on. The program is scalable, so if you find that you aren’t getting as much power as you’d like, you can always add more solar cells to generate more. Since the system only requires 5% surface area, you can easily build onto it without taking up too much space.
The final cost of the program with all materials purchased depends on your location and where you choose to get the items. However, it typically costs no more than $200, which is a minimal price for the amount of savings you receive. It’s like a long-term investment; spend a bit now and save more later.
The program comes in US measurements and metrics.
