Abstract :
Electrical supply for the separate small islands can be difficult. It is long way to the mainland. Need of power is small and cable lines are expensive. Electricity through the diesel generators is expensive too. One possible solution is using a combination of wind and solar powers, as reserve diesel generator too. Several islands in Estonia are supplied on such manner. Possible solution for the others is showed too
