Looking to get some insight and learn from others regarding Micro Hydro.
For the last four weekends have been busy installing a 6" penstock pipe of 140 ft of length.
The Micro Hydro that I have installed is made by Scotty Micro Hydro which is a crossflow turbine. It's capable of providing 1500-2000W of power via 3 phase output.
So my question is which set of electronics should I use to provide power to charge the batteries and be able to use the excess for a dump load
using hot water immersion heaters that I will install in my hot water tanks. My tanks have six inputs for heating so I want to use two electric
immersion heaters. My tanks are 1000 L each.
Next year I will get the PV installed so this will join my off grid setup.
Morning Star and Mid Nite solar make units, not cheap but which one to get or what else would you recommend please.
