Microgeneration

  • Topic

Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines, micro hydro, solar PV systems, microbial fuel cells, ground source heat pumps, and micro combined heat and power installations.

These technologies are often combined to form a hybrid power solution that can offer superior performance and lower cost than a system based on one generator.
