I have been researching a micro hydro system for about 2 years now and i think the time will be right within the next year to pull the trigger on this project. Especially since the my state ( Maryland) is going to raise of electricity rates 75% next year !!!
I have a flow of 150 gpm and a head of 55 ft. which after doing all the math equals out to right around 650KwH a month. Good enough to substantially decrease my bill and maybe even eliminate the bill all together... I can't wait to quit lining the pockets of others and start making my own power.,
