   Thanks

So did you get permission from the supplier, I believe is Edeste, to do this install?  Only 15% of volume per line is allowed to be off grid.  Without that permission  you are dead in the water.  And Edeste is likely able to recommend installers in the area.

I read recently they are looking to increase this to 25% of capacity being off grid. That is not yet law.  the gov't is also looking to shorten the approval time to under  45 days from the current 90 days plus!

interesting... so just to confirm, are you saying in DR it is illegal to have more than 15% of your energy utility being off-grid via solar panels? So you're legally forced to only use solar for 15% of your needs and purchase the other 85% from the grid? Did I understand that accurately? I'm looking into the solar industry alot since I want to be a Solar Sales Rep in DR, but if this legality is an issue then you're helping me rethink that decision... 🤔

It seems solar installation is really not beneficial to residentials or small businesses, unless you are completely off the grid. Here too many stories from small businesses that they have a hard time getting paid back from the utility.

No.  15% of any particular grid is allowed to be solar!  You can be 100% solar but you must have permission. It's a process and not quick!
