In 2020, the installed capacity of off-grid renewable energy worldwide reached about 11.2 gigawatts. As world population has dramatically increased in the last decades; industrialization and urbanization require large amounts of energy to expand. The overexploitation of fossil fuels to cover this energy demand has critical impacts on the environment, including climate change. In this context, there have been global efforts to increase the production of energy from renewable sources.
