Does she want to think about and adjust her power consumption based on the number of days you've gone without sun? Does she want to use a backup generator from time to time (gas, noise, tune up)? If the answers are "no," then you should go with net metering.

Thanks for making me smile.
I'm guessing most anyone wanting to live a simple, idiot proof life that involves customary modern conveniences might have to very seriously consider if such a life is even possible, be it Orchidland, Puna, Hawaii Island, or even the state of Hawaii.
