The local power utility has had a lot of technical dificulties running its power system. When the fuel prices went up the prices were subsidized by the Government. That has ended. The locals are paying $500-600 for power, when they are being conservative. I think it costs $.35-$.47/KW-hr.

I was on island 4-months ago and nobody was selling solar panels to homeowners. At least it wasn’t in the yellow pages or newspapers.

At what rate is it profitable to install solar panels (assuming no tax credits from anyone)?
