Jeff,
Thanks, that is what I expected, they smile and cheerfully let you go on
your merry way to nowhere! I have not dealt with the power company but can
tell some stories about the phone company!

I am friendly with the fellow who runs the power company on the island. I
didn't want to get into the can of worms but he personally is positive
towards the process from what I have learned in past conversations. Just
didn't want to put him in a corner, so to speak. We have never discussed net
metering, just wind and solar in general.

I might call him just for the hell of it, but don't expect any forward
motion.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
Unfortunately it is not, I'm not aware of a single Caribbean nation that
allows it. For the most part this is due to government owned utilities that
also control legislation (what a deal! But not completely unlike the good
'ol US of A). I've tried to work with a couple utilities down there on
"special demo projects" but only to be humored long enough to waste my time
and get nowhere.

Good luck!
