Ericsson sets up solar-powered 5G site in Plano,
Ericsson notes that the site is a showcase of its latest hybrid energy management, which combines on-site solar and energy storage
On-site solar and energy storage systems ensure clean power and increased resiliency for mobile network sites that are at the greatest risk of grid outages. The site provides advanced capabilities such as load shifting, peak shaving and demand response.
High-performing, energy-efficient and sustainable, the Ericsson Energy-Smart 5G Site and Intelligent Nanogrid Solution is helping Ericsson redefine the 'best network.' GSMA Report: Going Green measuring energy efficiency of mobile networks.
The Energy-Smart 5G Site's batteries support an extra 58 percent of the power demand during peak periods, providing substantial savings on electricity costs. Operation as a nanogrid with solar and battery resources enables disconnection from the grid for 46 percent of the time, alleviating grid overload.
