Can I Generate My Own Electricity with a Hydroelectric Turbine?


pv array Now that 36 states have adopted "net billing legislation", we are finally on our way to energy independence using the stream's "free energy" . What this does is allow us to generate our own electricity (with a hydroelectric turbine) and trade electricity with the utility watt for watt. This also affords us the reliability of being tied to the electrical grid while protecting us from rising electricity rates.

Silver State Renewables, Inc. can design your system, work with local inspectors, your utility, and governmental agencies to obtain the proper approvals (providing appropriate drawings), and then supervise the installation of the equipment to assure your satisfaction. Call or email us, with your questions, or for a quote.

In the following paragraphs you will find links to hydroelectric system manufactures and additional resources for more information. We recognize that when you click on one of these links you will leave our website and may never return. While we certainly hope you will take advantage of out services at some future date, we feel privileged to to have played some small part in helping you learn more about how you can "become more energy independent". Come back and see us when you're ready.
