PS...The County of Hawaii is actively looking at developing a PACE program for Hawaii County. The initial steps were put into play on February 17th, at the Food and Energy Committee meeting. If you are interested in what the program may look like, the Berkeley First program was the model the premise was based on for the Resolution under consideration at the Committee Hearing on Feb 17. If this program is in place by the time you arrive it may be of assistance in offsetting the initial cost of net metering...should that be the route you go. [I don't know that it would not help if you wanted to go off grid; the State's ordinance being developed right now includes energy efficiency improvement as well as renewable applications.]
