HELCO More Outages than HECO

[tptplyr1]

Don't want to jinx myself but so far in 2008 I've had more power outages on Oahu than in HPP. My wife is in HPP and I fly back and forth so this is my scientific basis for this statement. I am moving over full time soon so I hope that our HPP luck continues. I am also going to have a PV (Photo Voltaic) system installed and asked them about a disconnect switch in case the power goes out. I am going to run a grid system and no batteries. They are still checking to see if they can install with that feature. But I agree that a back-generator is a good idea.
