There is some company in Cabrera
Hi everyone I am from Calgary, canada. I have been in DR and back for
17yrs. There is a company that sell solar panel 80watts and also solar water heating. There in a small strip mall by a supermarcado and bank.
If you don't have a pool or lots of electronics solar panel are great.
Last time I was at my house, the power from the street blew up a lot of stuff in the town (computer, inverter, ect...). I will be getting 4 panel and 8 batteries (the one made for solar, guarantee for 10yrs) when I go back. I will turn my water pump to fill my tank on my roof, when it's full I will turn it off. The water will come down by gravity and for hot water, welllll,,,, you get use to not having it. So the one thing that will consume the most power is my fridge (you can go propane, but then you are paying for gas). We don't need a computer on air conditioning, use a fan on the nights that are hot. Some people want to live like they do back in there own country (well great if you do have the money). You don't have to be rich to live here (after you have your house built or bought). People should do gardening, almost everything grows here. Why buy fruit and veggies at the market.
Live on the interest in the bank, find a small income and enjoy the simple life.
Sorry got off topic a little bit. Good luck to everyone.
