Wonder why HELCO is so expensive? Is it the island terrain?
Well, solar makes sense here (And I should really be thinking in terms of children and generations). So then the next thing I need to do is figure out how much electricity my wife and I will need at first, and then figure how much to live more 'comfortably' for the next phase. It doesn't make sense to pay HELCO all that money just for the right to keep paying them forever.
Is there a topic on Punatalk that discusses:
- solar manufacturers?
- Used vs. New?
- Solar Equipment upkeep?
- "Building it yourself"? (I'm a little more than a handyman)
- Can I estimate the cost of building a solar system per Kw/h?
- Are there solar companies "on Island", and would it be more cost effective to work with them or would they consider me 'Small potatoes'?
Lol, good bye 1000w George Foreman Griller!!!

Just me and my wife tying to 'live quiet' and tread lightly. We're 37&38 years old.
