Hydroelectric
power can provide the most cost effective
electrical system given the right site. Since hydro systems run continuously,
they have the potential to generate a large amount of power. In all of
our hydro site designs, Sundance stresses the importance of employing
ecological sensitivity.

Micro-Hydro System Advantages:
- Continuous power generation - 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- Possible to produce excess power that exceeds load requirements
- Excess power generated can be used as a "Diversion Load" to provide
heat either for a direct hot water system, hot tub, etc...
Micro-Hydro System Disadvantages:
- Some water sources are seasonal, requiring an additional RE charging
source to the system
- A hydro system can require more maintenance than other RE systems
