Micro hydro electric power generation

[Peter Epperson]

We just finished the first two of four 50,000 gallon water tanks near Mahukona that are for microhydro. The tanks essentially become the storage for the solar electricity. The covers of the tanks are to be covered with photovoltaic panels. The panels supply the well pumps which will pump water all day long to fill the tanks. At night the water runs out and creates power.
No Batteries!
