No offense is being offered, but when you choose to live on an island or coast, you do so knowing the risk that you will be wiped off at some point in time. What is really ironic is you pay a premium in real-estate prices doing so.
Think about the folks in NOLA. They have the worlds biggest Hurricane Bulls Eye on their back and below sea level. Yet for some reason people choose to live there knowing they will be wiped out sooner rather than later. You pays your money and take your chances. No guarantees in life, just a chance is all you get.[CENTER]SunLight @ Night[/CENTER]Comment

Just FYI guys
Xantrex makes the XW series
Outback makes the Radian series
You can use micro's on an AC coupled system (although Enphase will void the warranty if you get caught)

Nice... thanks for sharing similar systems out there.
$2450 is a bit shy considering the shipping cost of batteries to Hawaii. You also did not tally the switches and incidentals... but we're on the same page...
I figured 6 panels because this kit would be needed during hurricane destruction which is normally followed by cloudy weather.
This is not for a SHTF scenario, for I don't think the world is going to come to an end that easily or in my lifetime.
Super Storm Sandy & Hurricane Haiyan in the Philippines inspired me to think about this (more). For we are a small mass here and would suffer long term if we were to experience either... and like Fukushima Japan, our main power plant (fuel, not nuclear) is right on the ocean front.
We had our wake up calls in 1982 & 1992,,, I learned a thing or 2 about survival back then

Also, you have many other countries surrounding you, meaning there are more shipping lines competing with each other.
We're all alone in the middle of the Pacific. We have Matson and Sealand in from California.
If I wanted a pallet of FLA batteries from Texas or Florida, they would have to be trucked to Cali first, then shipped to me... it all adds up.[CENTER]SunLight @ Night[/CENTER]Comment

Probably because you are closer to the United States than I am.

Honda makes a nice one, with auto-start capability.
