This is one of the toughest grean and clean energy sources to implement, but if you have the necessities for it, it can be very profitable. You would need a moving water source preferably as close to your house as possible, as this will decrease the cost needed for things like piping. A 5kW hydro turbine system would cost a total of $15,000 to $55,000 including the equipment and installation. This cost can fluctuate based of things such as the size, the durability, and how much maintenance it will need. Although it is a hefty price, it is a huge investment, because once the hydro turbine is installed it will need extremely little maintenance. Like wind turbines this can be an extremely viable energy source as long as you meet the standards needed for it.
