Products:
Through the development of small, modular turbines with standardized support structures, and non-submerged power conversion technology; we have produced a cost effective device, benefitting from high efficiency and low environmental impact.
The Evolution series™ is the fourth generation of our technology and we have largely finished research and development.
HPG is entering into the commercialization phase, working closely with dedicated supply chain partners.
Cost reduction, whilst still utilising proven components has been our driving force in commercialization. We have reduced our costs to the point where we are now competitive with solar PV, conventional micro hydro and small wind.
Our Evolution™ series Evo5, Evo10 and Evo25 turbines are designed for deployment in rivers, canals and shallow water tidal sites.
