Morning From Windy Hell Paradise

I calculated that I would need a minimum of 17KV to power the house along with the A/C.

At $10/head per night for sleeping in A/C comfort, it would have only taken 12 guests 5 nights to pay for the generator -- not including fuel.

This would have included non-alarm breaking popcorn, movie entertainment, A/C and hot showers.

And, I probably will have solar next year with the Beacon M5 inverters which do Virtual Islanding and grid-tie. That way, when the grid is down, my solar array isn't useless.
