If you have falling water, you may have power around the clock. You’ll measure head and flow on a real stream, calculate the power available, and learn how intakes, penstocks, turbines and controllers fit together. We size a micro-hydro system for a homestead and connect it to batteries alongside solar.
What to bring
- Work gloves, closed-toe boots and long pants
