Today’s micro-hydro system designs are dependable, economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Harnessing the power of water to generate electricity allows us to gain some sense of responsibility for meeting our own needs and for reducing our impact on the environment. If you have a stream running down a hillside on your property you may be a good candidate for a micro-hydro system. The water is moving twenty-four hours a day creating consistent power for your home. This is a great option for you if your home is planned for a location off the grid. Micro-hydro systems are opening up many new opportunities to build homes in locations far away from roads and utilities. Other forms of renewable energy require much higher subsidies and regulation to come even close to the value of micro hydro-power systems. Prudent Living offers micro-hydro systems that are grid-connected electrical power generation or off-grid stand-alone battery charging systems. Contact us for a free consultation on your property to see if a micro-hydro system is the right option for you.
