[RE-wrenches] Transmitting 15kW 3600ft Off Grid.

[Jerry Shafer]

Again, its all math, a seperate system, inverters, batteries, array will
cost more than the conduit, most likely alot more. Only you know if the
island can even be trenched so start there, this will determine if you even
have a choice. The existing system may need upgrading as it is and add that
in too. Math got to love it.
