The idea behind open renewables is to build a collection of open source/open hardware renewables projects. They’ll either be linked or hosted here.

Our first projects are:

The minimal bike charge controller - for your little sound system or other low power setup. This will get you up and running for about £40 (plus battery, inverter and generator). The first version of the hardware is being tested in Mexico! Check back for updates!

The Hackney city farm bike powered single person cinema. This project is nearing completion, installation date in a few weeks.

Both projects are under active development.
