We have been working hard behind the scenes to develop new ways to save harmful emissions and get ready for the future.
Cell towers in remote locations require a non-stop power supply to ensure mobile phone coverage 24-7. In places where the grid power is inconsistent (Poor-Grid), a backup power supply is also needed to ensure 24-7 coverage.
On remote sites where no grid power is available (No-Grid) a diesel generator is the only option. Using diesel generator as a primary power source increases operation, service & fuel costs considerably, compared to grid power.
The case for on-site renewable generation:
Powering off-grid telecom towers with renewables is a great opportunity to reduce emissions. Typically, remote BTS towers run on diesel gensets that require significant costs for operation and maintenance. The recent price decrease of solar and batteries allows at least for partially replacing diesel by renewable energy sources. This is where the Solar Pod Hybrid power supply fits in perfectly.
4 Power options: Up to 60kW of power from generator and solar PV/batteries combined.
HVO diesel compatible backup generator
Extend solar input with extra Solar Panel arrays OR extra battery storage
Proven to save energy year-round all seasons in UK weather. (Multiple case studies)
Huge diesel savings when used in sunny locations.
Reduce fuel use on remote off-grid cell towers (BTS), with the Solar Pod, ALL-IN-ONE-HYBRID generator.
The Solar Pod (patent pending) hybrid power generator significantly reduces carbon emissions and fuel costs associated with power provision by harvesting solar energy to provide free power to your BTS sites. With reduced fuel and energy costs, our solar generator systems are a smart choice for remote BTS installations.
The Solar Pod’s built in back up diesel generator can run on HVO diesel to reduce emissions ever further. Depending on the BTS site’s power requirements, the Solar Pod has the potential to use NO-FUEL, when solar input is overflowing battery output. The solar pod can also combine all power inputs (Solar/Batteries/Generator) to meat large spikes in power demands.
The Autosmart system that is built into our solar hybrid generator system ensures that all the end-user needs to do is simply switch on and use, meaning that switching to a hybrid power supply will be a completely seamless process, where minimal adjustment is necessary.
Our portable solar generator systems come with 4 model options, all with various power outputs and storage capacities. Our experts can help you to determine which of the 4 Solar Pod hybrid solar generator systems will best suit the demands of your specific site.
A responsive, hybrid power supply.
For large site BTS set ups, multiple Solar Pods can be used. Modularise the site into segments, this will optimise the performance of the Solar Pod. Add more solar capacity to your Solar Pod generator system by plugging in extra solar panels directly to the Solar Pods or using Power Pod battery storage units.
