Off-Grid Hydro Power: Too Much Power!

Published on 02 Jul 2021 / In How-to & Style

This off-grid hydro power system has a major problem; too much power. Jeff has stumbled upon a small clan of off-grid homeschoolers and discovers that their power system is a major source of angst.

Their stream engine produces around 1200-1300 Watts continuously and their load controller must get rid of any excess power by dumping the power into a hot water tank. Image the struggle to use copious amounts of hot water!

hold on, how is it a bad setup if they are producing more power and hot water than they need? in most cases ppl either can't get enough, or they have to conserve more in order to not use all the power required for their needs. more power is better, and they could sell that power if they wanted to.

Very interesting subject. Too bad the interviewer was too much of a goof.

yeah i wanted to see the whole set up to. but this one was kind of funny that this guy had too much power for his set up. most of the time nobody has enough for their setup which causes them to do another setup to try out to get the better results.
