PVPal- Green Empowerment's free toolkit (excel)
This toolkit is a free excel based software for designing off-grid solar PV systems for residential and small community scale power systems.
Open Source development of Electronic Load Controller (ELC) for Micro Hydro Power (MHP) systems
This wiki is intended as a resource base for development of open-source electronic load controller for use with Micro-Hydro Power systems.
Tubular Biogas Digester Manual
This manual aims to present a simple method to design a low-cost domestic scale biodigester. It is designed to teach implementers on the design and implementation of tubular biodigesters. The design guide initially presents concepts that should be taken into account when designing a tubular biogas digester, then goes into design parameters, materials needed for construction, systematic installation and finally design examples.
