I have friends that have an older (1980s) solar system in Puna. They are totally off the grid and it works for them, but cooking and WH is propane.
You might want to search this site for solar. It has been discusses quite a bit. I think I remember reading that now you need to submit engineering for your solar plans. There are solar credits available. A solar electric system might also need to installed by a licensed HI electrician. Someone here (like Cat), probably knows.
