Off-grid solar is a system that allow the users to store their solar power batteries for use when the power grid goes down. The off-grid provide power to offset the grid power whenever the sun is visible and also send excess power to the grid for later use. The major end-users for the off-grid solar system are the households that lack access to electricity connection to the national or

Challenges to Energy Security The vast majority of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are net energy importers of fossil fuels and have historically been so (Timilsina & Shah, 2016; Niles & Lloyd, 2013).
To calculate the power that can be achieved on islands with the help of wind and solar systems and batteries, the Reiner Lemoine Institut developed an optimization tool (using MATLAB). The results estimate the possible reduction in the Levelized Cost of Electricity [ 17 ].
On islands in which there is no interconnection with the mainland, the implementation of RE requires an in-depth understanding of the context to guarantee energy security, access to electricity, a match between supply and demand, lower electricity prices and acquiring responsibilities for combating climate change.
The solar potential is more than 5 kWh/m 2 /day especially during the summer, supporting the excessive electricity requirements of the tourism sector during this period of the year. Furthermore, on some islands, there are geothermal and biomass resources [ 98 ].
Most islands worldwide have off-grid generation systems made up of thermal power plants, thus affecting the cost of electricity and the reliability and safety of the power supply [ 8, 22 ]. However, their energy transition can be accelerated thanks to their abundant RE resources [ 22, 23 ].
