During the summer we have enough solar to keep our battery system charged.

But in the winter, we have to augment with generators.

In 2024, i want to build functional microhydro to eliminate the need for generators. It doesn’t have to be alot either. 100 watts continuous accumulates to 2kWh useable energy over 24 hours. I want to use ingenuity and work to make the gift of this land provide what we need.

That's absolutely fascinating.😆

Do you have a constantly running stream through your land? Do you plan to build a pelton wheel?🧐🤔

I'd love to follow your project.👍

we were undeserving blessed with a year round stream with enough flow and head to run something. we didn’t know it was on the property when we bought it. it was a rushed sale because it was inexpensive land, and other people were interested.

Havent settled on wheel, or small vortex. still calculating…

Interested to know how big that would be, and how far away from the house?
