Hydropower
Our hydropower machines are built in Boise, ID but we ship internationally
Hydropower is a very economical and reliable source of alternative energy. It can be harnessed from many streams or creeks with a few feet to several hundred feet of elevation change. It is simple to predict an approximate amount of energy that may be extracted at a site. However, implementation can be very difficult for standard construction companies. Aurora Power & Design Inc. has designed and installed many hydro systems, and understands the 'ins' and 'outs' of this process. If you have a stream or existing hydro system, Aurora Power offers unmatched services in the areas of design, installation, and maintenance. If you would like to know more about our hydropower services in Boise, ID or would like to receive an estimate, please contact us. We can ship to you internationally.
How Much Power Can I Produce?
Every site is different in its flow and height drop available. For many sites we have a hydro turbine to suit your application, so please Contact Us to to speak with a hydro expert about your specific site and its capabilities. We can also provide you with a price and power estimates based on your site data.
IS HYDROPOWER RIGHT FOR ME?
Hydropower is one of the best ways to generate clean, renewable energy for your home. However, not every location is suitable for hydropower. The perfect location for a hydro system is a place with a lot of elevation change, referred to as "head", with a large volume of water flowing. Large streams and rivers, while they have a great deal of water flowing, are often not well suited for hydropower as they have very little elevation change. Additionally, using hydro turbines to recover energy from pumping systems is not often economically viable. If you have any questions whether a hydro turbine system would be right for you, fell free to speak with one of engineers and we can determine if hydro power is right for you.
