Off Grid Growing Equipment

Also consider an actual hydroelectric pico-generator.

Is there enough flow to install a small dam and provide off grid hydro? It’s my understanding that 3’ or less doesn’t require a permit, and staying off grid you won’t need to apply for a 5 megawatt exemption (permits on hydro are horrendous).

Yes, I’ve definitely considered what I could do to build a low dam on my ~330 feet of creek to have a source of electricity generation where I don’t have a grid tie. The added benefits are that I could increase the present fish habitat and grow some beautiful water lilies.
