pv/powergrid hybrid ... If helco wants extra money to run the extra power wire fine.
You'll probably reconsider when you find out how much this will cost.
HELCO's latest posture is: full grid-tie treatment (surveys, engineering, permits) if you have both grid and PV, even if the PV is fully standalone. I think it's something like $10-15K, in addition to the SSPP, installation, the actual PV hardware, etc. This could easily cost more than the lot itself...
