Summary. A feasibility study of solar power for Sebesi Island, Indonesia demonstrates that an off-grid solar system with battery storage meets the island's daily electricity needs more economically and sustainably than diesel generators. Using sensitivity analysis to account for resource uncertainty, the optimal solar configuration costs $1.26 million with an energy cost of $0.346/kWh, compared to $1.29 million and $0.397/kWh for diesel. The solar system generates twice the annual energy while reducing CO2 emissions by 241,812 kg yearly.
