Listening off grid with batteries

That's very cool. Congrats. And thanks!
I think micro hydro is cool, but it requires a certain setting. I would love to figure out a way to do that for my second system house. I have the water not too far away, but it's theoretically not "mine." If I could wire the electricity a full kilometer, I could definitely make it work - and could probably power the whole hamlet - but that would require a bit more capital, plus a bunch of permissions that I doubt would be easy to get. But it's an idea and you've inspired me so I'll take a look at what is possible.

As to what is possible, no matter what I would go for high-efficiency speakers to get the most bang for your juice buck.

wow...I'm jealous. Are you out in the boonies?

Send an email to Twl, through Audiogon. He might be able to help you with this question.

Thanks for the replies.

Property is located on an Island, 20 minute boat ride from the mainland.
Thirty minutes drive from our home on the mainland to the Marina.
The Island has 200 inhabitants but no ferry access, it's boat or water taxi only.

My creek runs a large volume of water, but only in the rainy season which is from Nov to Apr.
Creek is located 60 feet from the back part of the house so the distance is not to far for the cable runs.
When I purchased the land I also obtained the right of way to the creek.
Solar during the summer and the micro will help during the winter time.

T bone, I agree on the high efficiency speakers. I have to admit over drooling over your Jadis speakers.........many times. How efficient are they ?

Lak , I see that Twl is a solar grid designer, I will contact him.
Thank you for the lead.
Take care,
