I lived for several years in Hong Kong where condensation was a major issue for half the year. You could watch rivulets of it running down inside walls.
The solution was to use dehumidifiers - basically sucking the moisture out of the air inside a room and either running it outside or collecting it for later disposal. These could produce 4 or 5 liters of water overnight in a standard-sized bedroom. But they kept the mould off your shoes and made it possible to put on a suit that didn't smell like a donkey auction.
You could consider the power requirements of such a device and run it off a solar array with inverter and batteries. That way, at least, you would not have too much running cost.
