Emanuele, this is an interesting technology but the payback period I feel will be too long for many organisations. Are you aware of any power purchase type agreements that might be available?

Hello!! Thank you. Payback periods are between 7-12 years, lower than payback periods of Archimedes screws and Kaplan instalaltion. Consider that we are speaking about micro hydro, i.e. low power output (I would say < 20 kW)
