• Author’s renewable energy systems were used as case studies by natural Resources Canada. • Author helped write the Microhydro Buyers Guide, RETSCREEN, Canada’s renewable energy software. The Canadian Renewable Energy Guide used his projects as study guides. • Every system cited in the guide is a testimonial to an actual hands-on system that works, taught by real experts, the owner/operators and their advisors. • Dozens of case studies provide breadth, history, context and a look at the future of microhydropower. • The articles in this book have been published in magazines like Home Power by a peer review process. • Every stand alone power system has to “solve the energy crisis” by providing a high standard of living from local energy sources. • Audience is teachers, activists, decision-makers, and anyone interested in renewable energy will appreciate the hands-on quality of this book.
