Juliet: Good morning. I would be happy to pass on solar information on the list to you. I am placing a call to Mr. Charles George of Caribbean Electric ("Vegus") this morning. We have discussed my needs at the research center, and are now fine-tuning what I want so that we can establish a price. I have talked to a good number of people about the US, Canada, and UK and have about decided (depending upon Mr. George's price for parts and total installation) that it would make more economics to have an island firm do the job. I do have a good friend on the island who has been with solar for a long time, and I think together he and I could do the job (he designed and installed his own systems), but since I do not live full time on Roatan, most of the burden of the work would fall on my friend and that just isn't what I want to happen. I will indeed keep you posted. I can tell you now that I am looking at a system or systems that will generate and store between 20kw and 35kw. I intend to have a diesel generator, and I intend to remain hooked to RECO as well.
All the best, dke
