The only concern I would have about this is DR would be on thieves, obviously depending where the house is situated. If based in a slightly opportunist area I would have thought once the locals figured out what they were and how much they were worth, or what they did, they would have them away given the opportunity.
i thought about the same thing, if the thieves figure out how much they are worth it could be ripe for their picking....i think it's a great idea to use solar and a windmill as a backup. i was suprised to see a windmill for the first time in DR when i drove to the beaches of Salinas in Bani. a hotel had 3 big windmills on its roof. If only more people could benefit from this source of energy....i wonder if the transformer and inversor for this kind of energy produced is expensive to set up?
