Best Off-Grid Power Solutions: Solar, Wind, or Hydro?
Been tinkering around with off-grid power options for the homestead and can't decide between solar, wind, or hydro. Each has its own advantages and drawbacks, right?
Solar's pretty straightforward, and I like that it doesn't rely on moving parts. Wind's got potential too, especially in an open field but I've heard it's a maintenance nightmare. Hydro is my personal favorite because it's 24/7, but not all of us have a rushing stream in our backyard.
What's everyone's take on this? Have you tried any of these power sources, and if so, were they worth the investment?
