    Hi from Dominica

    Hello, so I'm from the nature island of Dominica. Since Hurricane Maria roflstomped my island, I find myself being more interested in solar energy. There is no power in my area probably for months to come but I have a little setup I'm planning to build if all goes well I'll probably continue using it even when power is restored and build on it large scale .

          So initially, you will be designing an OFF-GRID system now, but then change to a GRID-TIE system when your Power Grid is restored?
          And you want to start small-scale and then will grow to large-scale?

              Yup, that's the plan.

                  Have you selected any equipment, yet?
                  Do any vendors / websites have delivery issues to locations in Dominica?

                      Other than the the amsu,solar generator which I ordered from Amazon and a MOHOO 100W 18V 12V Ultra Thin Flexible Lightweight Cells, along with some MC4 cables and extension cables, that's all I have for now, I don't have access to the solar panel and cables yet, because they haven't cleared the port as yet they should be ready by next week. No, delivery to Dominica isn't really a problem because there are third party shipping companies which ship it down to Dominica, so all I have to do is order from Amazon or whatever site, to the shipping companies US address and it gets shipped down to the island.
