Home Hydro Electricity

With today's rising energy costs and unstable world economy, you will want to be in control of your own power for you and your family. It is getting cheap. Cheaper, in fact, everyday to set up your own "off the grid" or "grid-tied" home power systems! Just look at the tax credit page to see how affordable the government is trying to make it for you. Save your own electricity to battery or sell it to your old utility company. Seriously. It is possible and we show you how. Not only how but where to buy the high quality, cost efficient sustainable, renewable energy producing equipment you will need. Get started now! We make it easy at 'Home Hydro Electricity'.com!

Home Hydro Electricity

Hydroelectricity comes from the damming of rivers and streams and utilizing the potential energy stored in the water. As the water stored behind a dam is released at high pressure, its kinetic energy is transferred onto turbine blades and used to generate electricity. This system has enormous costs up front, but has relatively low maintenance costs and provides power quite cheaply. In the United States approximately 180,000 MW of hydroelectric power potential is available, and about a third of that is currently being harnessed. Hydroelectricity currently provides less than 10% of the electricity in the USA. That number is way down from about 50% several years ago.

Here is a video from YouTube about a couple in Ontario, Canada who live completely off the grid using wind and solar power and a battery storage system. They also recycle their water supply and drive a car that gets 70 miles to the gallon. A great piece and worth a watch! Good information about "Home Hydro Electricity".

Whether with solar panels, small wind turbines, biomass or hydro-electricity generators, it can be easier than you think to power your home yourself. Even selling electricity back to the utility who has been selling it to you for all these years. Home Hydro Electricity.com is dedicated to answering your questions and showing you how to buy what you need to make it a reality!

Grid-Tie Solar Systems (GTS)

A valuable feature of grid-tie or grid-connected photovoltaic systems is the ability to connect with the existing power grid and sell excessive electricity back to the utility with a plan known as Net Metering. At times when you are not using all of the electricity produced by your system, your meter will spin backwards selling the electricity back to the grid at retail rate. These systems do not include a battery. Power is obtained from the utility grid when the system is not producing electricity.

Grid-Tie Systems with Battery Backup (GTB)

Grid-Tie Solar Electric Systems with Battery Backup have all the features of the Grid-Tie Systems with the addition of a Battery. The battery can store power for use when the system is not producing electricity such as during the night or during blackouts. That means you never have to buy electricity from the utility unless your batteries are depleted.

Off-grid PV Systems (OGPV)

Also known as independent or stand alone power, these systems are typically used to power remote homes and cabins. In most cases, if the power lines are more than 1/3 of a mile away, a stand alone renewable energy system can be cost-effective. Solar electric modules charge a bank of batteries, an off-grid inverter converts the DC battery current to standard 120/ 240
volt AC power and the home can be wired normally.
These systems can easily accept other battery charging sources such as wind turbines, hydro electric turbines and AC generators. When 2 or more charging sources are used, it's known as a hybrid power system. Our most popular off-grid option is a solar and wind electric hybrid system. This combination works together to even out the seasonal variations of either power source alone.
