I would get wind generator for the caribe over solar if I had to choose. My own experience is that a couple of 80 watt fixed panels and a wind generator will reliably give you over 100amps a day on average. More can be had with an MPPT contoller and my experience was in th Bahamas with this set up. There is significantly more wind in the Caribe though many anchorages are protected from the trades by high land.
BUT you must get a wind generator with big blades...not the multiple small ones if you want amp production in 10 knots or less which is what you get in most anchorages. See Practical Sailor review from the last 2 months! KISS or FourWinds would still be my top choices. Either of these and fixed 160 watt solar panels is less expensive than a solar stik with 100 watt panels which is the only option offered on their site.
