摘要
Small Tropical Island Nations such as Fiji Islands are under constant pressure to find effective, renewable, and sustainable means of generating energy. This paper is an investigation into quantifying challenges in designing sustainable PV systems for reliable and resilient energy supplies for isolated and vulnerable island communities' long term. Conclusions include an overview of challenges faced by small communities to establish sustainable solar power generation solutions.
