Not to sound severe but making a choice on where your family should live, particularly on a small island, based on a child’s sports interest seems mis...

It seems counterintuitive, economically speaking, to own an electric car on STX given the electric rates and relatively affordable gas prices. I like...

If sailing and island hopping were my priority the STT would be a really good choice but the cruise ships and the higher numbers of flights make traff...

Unless the ground site work for the panels is enormous, it sounds like your quotes seem really high if it’s a 13.5 kW array. Is the something particu...

I believe you are correct and the manufacturer claims at some point they will ship to the USVI. I’m just going to wait until the Fall and try again. ...

How large is the system? I also don’t know the cost difference between a roof mounted system versus a ground mounted system. We are having Mike Baue...

I called VI Cargo and they were concern about it having a lithium ion battery. They asked for the MSDS for the battery so I emailed the E-Bike manufa...

We have a 7kW portable generator for the house, that once the solar system is installed will be our backup of last resort. The solar panels to be inst...

We used Ferrol and had our property manager pick-up our Jeep. It was no problem. Everything was done while we were off island.

When Mike Bauer looked at our home (and pool) he confirmed we had the pump brand he recommends to people and it only runs a limited number of hours. O...

Is it fair to say the seasonal difference is a function of AC usage? Thanks again for the data, seems like you’re meticulous in your tracking of elec...

Thanks everybody, it's interesting to get real data on usage. Our house is about 2,600 sqft with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, so not small but not huge,...

Thanks, makes sense and might be fun.

Thanks for the advice everyone. As background I'm an experienced motorbike rider, in addition to New England, I have ridden extensively in Europe (pr...

Your vehicles title should show the lien holder. You will need their permission to move the vehicle to the USVI as they will need to be listed as the...

The Jeep was delivered roughly 6 weeks before we arrived. Our neighbors, who also look after our house when we’re away, used it occasionally, which w...
