Fit group in co-operation with RC-Solar from Sweden . We do not hide a secret that green energy from 10 years ago and more was had a bad reputation use at project because main reason was the cost .
This situation changes last few years from high cost energy to similar cost of oil & gas energy with consideration the capital and running cost of 3-5 years. The use of green solution after 3 years like solar or wind dramatically decrease.
Therefore, this is some advantage of using green energy at telecom sector especially as term (green towers):The capital of fossil fuel and Solar system for a tower is similar in 3-5 years period. After 3-5 years, the solar become less cost from fossil dramatically.
In some cases the telecom towers installed at rural area or above mountains the supply of fuel to generators is so hard to reach and costly.The fault in engine generators cause fault in telecom system and the backup generator make cost increase a lot of difficulty to use remote control for telecom tower.
The stability of solar or wind energy is much higher than fuel supply.Some countries start to role new regulation of using the fossil energy generation and also additional tax and operation complicity compare the green energy the tax is few or free and regulation go to support use of green energy.The reliability of solar, wind energy increased last few years with system remote control .
so no need to visit the telecom site especially at rural area or hard to reach which decrease the running cost and make fast response of failures or problems. The Solar energy become much cheaper from years ago so the capital of projects for energy supplying become similar to fossil energy in addition the energy store can be stored for days or even weeks for telecom towers. The life cycle for solar panels about 25-30 years compare to generator for continues use about 3-4 years. Therefore the telecom company should buy a new set of generators every few years compare to solar every 25 years.
Which mean also the solar energy add an asset to Telecom Company and increase company value.The use of green energy add for any company a rich source for ads of environment company commitment and Steps to install green towers. For green towers it’s a projects with multi scenario and multi approach , so it’s important to design each tower at specific area case by case .
The solar energy vary from place to place or wind energy or telecom tower energy consumption that’s why we need to check each tower status to calculate needs and cost which in general :Tower location: area of tower like sunny or cloudy, windy or on a mountain peaks.Tower availability of free land surrounded tower which determine if solar panels will install on same steel body of tower ( its then need tower manufacture calculation ) .Availability of another source of electricity, which may design the energy with hybrid energy storage like DC storage system with AC assistance from country Grid.
The telecommunication system requirement like voltage of DC, AC in a list with loads.The maintenance plan and tower accessibility of tower visit plan which determine the kind of batteries and capacities.
