Here you'll find the following information and tools to help you evaluate the different small renewable energy system technologies:
- How they work
- Renewable energy resource availability
- Economics and costs
- System siting
- System sizing
- Codes and regulations
- Installation and maintenance considerations.
As you consider a design for your system, remember that these technologies can be used by themselves, combined, or used in conjunction with a fossil fuel system. When these technologies are combined or used with a fossil fuel generator, the result is a hybrid system.
Your technology options include the following:
- Small solar electric systems
- Small wind electric systems
- Microhydropower systems
- Small hybrid electric systems (solar and wind)
