Solar's daily cycle makes battery sizing relatively predictable. Wind's gustiness and hydro's steady baseload each demand a different approach to autonomy days and depth of discharge.

Owning the land your stream runs through doesn't mean you own the right to divert its water. That single misunderstanding derails more first-time micro-hydro projects than any equipment problem.

Unlike solar, a well-sited micro-hydro system generates power around the clock. Here's what determines whether a property can actually support one.
