Of late microgrids have been extensively implemented in developing countries and generally they have been in rural parts or those that are difficult to access. I'd like to know what is the typical highest capacity (as of now) of Solar PV based microgrids that have been implemented in various developing countries and especially in India. To my knowledge it is that of Sagar islands (Sunderbans, India) which has a capacity of about 130 kw is the highest in India. Any higher capacities than that? Thanks in anticipation.
In the case of Cuba is 100 kW, has not been increased due to economic and energy demand criteria.
Dear,
About Brazil, I suggest the works of: R.Zilles:

Have a look at IRENA's work:

The largest off-grid system is probaly still Tokelau with 1MW

Are you talking about micro grids ( isolated ) or about the grid connected PV plants?
Thanks Arnulf for the information.
@Prakash: I'm talking about the stand-alone grids that are local in nature and provide power to the rural areas.
