Your link didn't work for me
Your comment as to half the production in Hawaii got my attention. I've seen 4.5 and 5 hrs per day used as the planning figure, but would be surprised that even Ca is twice that. Did your evaluation factor in the cost of HELCO electricity? I suspect the per kw charge is considerably higher here and not about to get any cheaper. As for your $1000/watt system cost, that matches the quote I have for my new system here in Ninole.
I'm nowhere approaching environmental tree hugger etc type, but after living off grid this short time, I like it.
