Hi Andrew, As your setup seems so ideal for hydro power it would be a shame 
if you had to settle for a polluting generator wouldn't it? Are you or can 
you be connected to the main power grid? Does the power company that supplies 
the grid have a buy back scheme? I am just thinking that if the answer to 
those questions is yes, and if you can find someone to loan you the money up 
front it should be possible to sell your excess electricity to the grid  
(possibly allowing you to not have to buy expensive and problematic 
batteries) at a rate that may help pay off your loan? I hope you find 
something that works anyway. Good luck!
