This paper focuses on the optimization of hybrid off-grid PV-Wind systems in six climatic areas of the Madeira archipelago (Portugal), both from the technical and economical points of view. The areas are characterized by the variables recorded in six corresponding meteorological stations during the period 2002–2005. To facilitate the comparison of the systems, energy productions are given as specific values related to the square meter of horizontal land occupied by the systems. The DC PV electric generation per square meter of module (and horizontal land) in the sites of the stations was obtained in a parent paper. The wind electric generation is obtained from the wind daily data of the stations and considering an instantaneous Weibull distribution.
