Abstract

In an era of increasingly rapid development and new technological surprises, the rainwater harvesting system represents one of the government-introduced systems that is experiencing accelerated growth in our country. This project, which is for a small-scale rainwater harvesting system, still needs to be applied, especially for producing renewable energy and other uses of rainwater. In order to overcome the problem, the production of an efficient rainwater harvesting system is highly encouraged as a backup and to support daily water use as well as other uses such as irrigation and flushing tanks. Therefore, this project aims to produce a hybrid micro-hydro and solar PV generation project in a rainwater harvesting system that is worthwhile, user-friendly, more extensive in rainwater use, and does not damage the environment. A number of experimental series have been undertaken to investigate the performance of the system. In conclusion, the experimental results demonstrate that the hybrid system outperforms other alternatives significantly.
