<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Hi Bill,</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">If you want to contact me offline, we can refer you to a local dealer in Port au Prince who ussually has Outback and Rolls products in stock and I believe he currently has some Solarworlds as well. For a one-off project you're probably on the right track. Importing and going through customs in Haiti is definately a pain and can be time-consuming. You may pay more $ locally but will pay less in problems, delays and frustration. (SELF has been working there since before the quake)<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></DIV>

<div class=yiv1803304833MsoNormal>A doctor in town has started an orphanage in Haiti and while it has connection with government power for a few hours per day, it of course is not reliable and is very expensive. We are still in the stage where we are trying to figure how to shed as much load as possible. I have no territoriality in this project and will help provide system design and hardware at my cost, however apparently tariffs can be huge so we may want to source as much as possible in country. Can anyone tell me which solar NGO’s (SELF?) you’d recommend to tell us what hardware (deep cycle batteries) is available in country? And if it is a simple UPS system, storing from the grid, what grid-connected battery chargers does everyone recommend for a fairly large battery bank? Used to be Todd chargers and I wondered if they’ve corrected problems or passed on to some other company.</div>
