WATER POWER: Large scale hydroelectric power has been used worldwide for a long time to generate huge amounts of power from water stored behind massive dams. Small scale hydropower has been used for hundreds of years for manufacturing, including milling grain, sawing logs and manufacturing cloth. However, it can also be used without a dam to generate electricity for home scale remote power systems. These "so-called" micro-hydro installations can be a very good complement to a solar power system, as they produce electricity 24 hours a day.
