Solar net metering in Antigua — Real payback periods and APUA connection process

With electricity tariffs around $0.42 USD per kWh in Antigua, solar is practically an economic necessity for businesses and homeowners running air conditioners.

I want to answer any questions about the APUA grid-tie process: inspection requirements, bi-directional meter installation, battery backup choices (Lithium LiFePO4 vs AGM), and real payback time (currently 3.2 to 4.5 years).

Trevor installed our 8kW system in Jolly Harbour 2 years ago. Our APUA bill went from $1,600 XCD/month down to under $220 XCD/month during peak AC summer months. Best investment we made on the house.

Yes! Zero import duty and zero ABST on solar PV panels, hybrid inverters, and battery banks when imported with an approved Energy Unit certificate.

Are commercial property owners entitled to duty concessions on imported solar inverters and mounting rails under the current renewable energy act?
