We would install it on the 480 V side of the xfmr to include the =ine and xfmr losses in the readings. We would compare the temporary =ower meter to the utility meter, thus it would be a time and use study. =his would be very valuable information to have to properly size the =olar and energy storage system. I should know my schedule for =he week of January 7.11 by next week.

Also let me know what day works for you and your team =uring the week of Jan 7-11 to visit the Island and I will co- ordinate =etting it up.

You could also install a temporary power logger =ver a week or so and then compare that to the utility meter. If =he cable was sized properly it should be less than 2% losses. =br> We have an excellent electrical contractor in St. Croix that has =een working for Hovensa for many years.

TIC =ill perform a preliminary feasibility study of solar energy production =n LSJ Island. We are familiar with the challenges of designing =nd building solar in the Caribbean and have developed cost effective =olutions to meet these challenges. Our =nitial thoughts are that a solar PV plant sized to meet the entire =eeds of the island would most likely be the best solution. This =ill require that we know as much about the electricity consumption and =eneration capabilities as possible. Please, provide us with 12-24 =onths of VIWAPA electricity bills and if possible any interval or =ime-of-use data on consumption. This data may be available from =trip charts or data logging of the generators when they were =unning, We would also like to have the name plate data on =he generators and a single line diagram of the electrical =ystem. Also, please indicate on a map where we can locate =he solar array and battery station. Thank you and have a Happy =hanksgiving, Jeff Jeff =ttaviano 6 EFTA_R1_001 53347 EFTA01806034 Toshiba International =orporation 200 Dryden Road, Suite =400 Dresher, PA =9025 http://www.toshi.a.cojp/sisientsolar/index.htm 7 EFTA_R1_001 53348 EFTA01806035
