Rainy season has hit the tropical paradise of Panama pretty hard this year, with daily rain showers that create traffic jams and cancel soccer practice. Another thing that these rains bring is increased runoff into the many rivers and streams in the country. The seasonal streams are trickling and streaming again, and some people are thinking about how they might take advantage of this extra water for energy!

The Panamanian news has been going crazy for small hydro-electrical projets that are popping up around the country. These projects hope to sell electricity back to the electrical companies for some profit. However, what about the green enthusiast who wants a mini hydro to take care of his energy needs?

Mini hydro plants are available now! These are toy poodle sized electrical plants that are perfect for smaller installations, perfect for meeting any residential or rural need.
