Hydro Systems are normally used in conjunction with solar systems but can be used as stand-alone systems. They can be divided into various groups as follows.

Water Wheels

Water wheels are installed on either a river or dam and need constant water flow.

Amount of power produced is dependent on flow and volume of water.

Below are some pictures of water wheels.

Mini Hydro Systems

Mini hydro’s are installed on either a river or dam and need constant water flow, with a fall of 2 meters or more.

Amount of power produced is dependent on flow, volume of water and fall.
