Steve,
Got your post at Grape Radio.
I currently am having a subcontractor install a large bank of panels on one of the houses I am building - Maui Solar I think is the contractor’s name - he was recommended by the electrical engineer. This is going to be a pretty large system when it is complete, but he is working with the Owner direct, so I do not know the specifics at this time.
I am checking out what he does and seeing how I can prep for it at my house. If it is anything like the solar water I should be able to save 40% by using my own labor for most of it and I have an electrican that I trust for the techincal stuff.
MECO recently introduced net metering for single family residential on Maui. It’s not perfect (if you produce more than you use, they don’t pay you the difference) so it still discourages those who are interested in producing for those who rent or don’t have the means to invest.
From your photo I am guessubg you are on the north shore of the Big Island with Hana in the distance?
Take care, aloha and have a grape day!

Actually, that’s a default image. I haven’t had time to post my own. I’m on Oahu in Manoa.
Anyways, I’ve got a 3 KW system. Our contractor proposed a 6 KW system to cover 100% of our needs. But if we install some more good Energy Star appliances and think about conservation a bit more (more CFLs, etc.), I’m hoping we don’t need a full 6 KW system. Besides, if we break up the installation over a couple of years, we can take advantage of the federal tax credit more than once.
