hunter4623 Campfire Regular H Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 1,771 Gen X	Originally Posted by Morewood Currently installing a mini-hydroelectric power generation unit at my son's off-grid place. In winter the solar lags in power production so this water generated trickle charge will help immensely. We've buried about 400 feet of 4" pvc pipe pen stock which drops down about 150' in elevation and is providing 74 psi water pressure at the generating pelton wheel. Had to run 2" conduit back up the hill pull wire and hook into the battery powerhouse. First test run is tomorrow. Is it free water? Oh hell no, not with install cost and upkeep, but having engineered water pressure providing power to run a solar well is pretty close to no water bill. When this project comes to fruition I'll share some pics with y'all if interested. More info and pics would be appreciated. I’m planning something similar
