Microhydropower Systems

Microhydropower systems usually generate up to 100 kilowatts (kW) of electricity. Most of the hydropower systems used by homeowners and small business owners, including farmers and ranchers, would qualify as microhydropower systems. In fact, a 10-kilowatt microhydropower system generally can provide enough power for a large home, a small resort, or a hobby farm.
