Backyard Revolution is an online program that guides you through building your own affordable solar panel system that only takes up 5% of surface area and is strong enough to reduce your electricity bill by 65%. Now, you may immediately be thinking that you cannot afford to install solar panels. After all, the average cost of a typical residential 5kW solar panel system costs between $3 and $4 per watt, which results in a total cost of $15,000 – $25,000.
However, Backyard Revolution doesn’t teach you how to create a typical system. Instead, it’s highly based on information MIT researchers found that you can create a small, affordable solar panel system that have almost no energy waste simply by using a zigzag pattern. This program guides you through the entire process – from start to finish, and is broken down into simple steps with no prior experience, knowledge or fancy tools needed.

What is Backyard Revolution About?
It’s amazing what you can do when you put solar panels in a zigzag pattern. MIT researchers recently dove into solar panel systems and found that the standard setups are not only excessively large and take up a ton of valuable space, but they also waste 85-95% of the solar energy they produce. They also cost thousands of dollars to install, making it hard to see the benefits of even having one in the first place. But most importantly, the same researchers discovered a way to maximize energy consumption to almost zero waste and without taking up a lot of space (on your property and in your bank account). It’s all about the zigzag pattern.
Backyard Revolution is an online program that teaches you how to build your own zigzag solar panel system using as few cells as possible and with only 5% of surface area, but all the energy needed to power your home or appliances. The system is highly based on the findings of MIT research and consists of strategically placing the solar panel cells in a specific pattern so there is almost zero energy wasted. This allows you to receive more solar energy while using a smaller, more affordable and more efficient solar panel setup.
The program takes you through all of the steps to ensure an easy, stress-free experience. It covers everything from the material and tool lists to the dimensions, building and assembly process. The steps are provided to you in written and video format and come with photos, diagrams, lists, blueprints and much more to guide you through the step-by-step process. These steps have also been simplified so that anyone can use Backyard Revolution, even without any prior experience or knowledge.
Backyard Revolution is also digital, so you receive immediate access as soon as you purchase – no waiting or paying for shipping. Instead, you can access the material online or download it onto your smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer so you have access to it anytime, anywhere. This is particularly helpful when picking up the materials at the local hardware store or building your solar panel system, whether in a garage, basement or backcountry. As long as you have your tech device, you have everything you need to start building your own mini solar panel system. It also comes with a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee, which means you have two months to check out the system and to even build your solar panel system, risk-free. So, if you have any doubts or just want to check it out and see how this device can help you save 65% on your electricity bill, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.
This is how and where you will access the program’s materials.
Who Created the Backyard Revolution Program?
The man who created Backyard Revolution is Zack Bennett. Like many of you reading this, he is just a regular 42-year-old man based out of Orlando, Florida who had absolutely no experience or knowledge on alternative power sources. It was only when his home became burglarized during a power outage that he started to look into different options, which is what led him to finding the MIT research on zigzag solar panel systems. After creating his own with the information learned and perfecting the process, Zack created this guide for others to do the same.
Overview of the Backyard Revolution Program
Backyard Revolution is an online program that teaches you how to build a mini-solar panel system using a zigzag pattern that MIT researchers have found to be able to produce more energy with less surface area needed. The program begins by providing you with a quick introduction that explains what you can expect from the guide. Then, it jumps right into the building process, which is separated step-by-step for an easy, gradual and stress-free learning experience. It starts off with a detailed list of tools and materials, with images for each of the items so you know exactly what to look for when at the department store. The list of materials also comes with detailed measurements and quantities to cover the entire process. Some even come with product recommendation links. Then, the program covers the part dimensions in a blueprint format, complete with diagrams and measurements and heads right into the assembly/building process. All of this is put into simple terms and steps that are easy to follow.
The program comes with two options to choose from: a portable version and a home version. Both are similar and only have slight variations in the materials used to provide a different outcome. For example, the portable version has all of the information packed into one manual and two video tutorials and the home version is separated into two manuals: a size scaling PDF and a wiring PDF and two video tutorials.
To give you a better idea of what you can expect, here’s a more detailed look at the main manual:

Frequently Asked Questions
The amount of power you can expect from the solar panel system highly depends on the quality and number of the solar cells you will be using. However, if you follow the blueprint provided which uses 24 solar panel cells with each cell producing around 3 watts, you can expect to produce 70 watts of power. If you need more than this, there are higher-efficiency solar cells you can use that produce 4 watts per cell or you can increase the number of solar cells used. The device can also be customized to hold more solar cells to have even more power output without taking up more surface area.
The program has been used by hundreds of people to create their own solar panel system and power their home or appliances without an issue. However, if you’re concerned about reliability, the program also teaches you how to store excess power in portable batteries to ensure a constant flow of energy without any interruption.
None at all! That’s one of the great things about this program, as it can be used by anyone regardless as to whether or not they have any knowledge, experience or carpentry/woodworking skills. The program carefully lays out the instructions in a detailed, step-by-step process, complete with images and diagrams that show you exactly what to do. The language has also been simplified so it’s easy to read and understand. As long as you follow the instructions accordingly, you should have no problem. You can also hire a professional to assemble the steps for you, which would still be far less expensive than hiring a solar panel company.
The steps use US measurements and metrics. If you need them in another type, you can quickly do a conversion online.
