Micro-hydro

Micro-hydro powers individual houses or small communities that have access to a suitable stream. Micro-hydro has the advantage of continuous operation, which means you spend less on batteries.

There are options for those already connected to the national grid to ‘sell’ any power generated back to electricity suppliers. This reduces the need for large batteries to store electricity, while still staying connected.
