Siemens Solar Telecom App 6: Solar-Powered Emergency Telecom Systems
Siemens Solar presents its Telecom Application 6, an innovative solar-powered solution designed to energize emergency telecommunications systems in remote and disaster-affected areas, ensuring critical communication during crises. Utilizing our durable photovoltaic (PV) modules like the SR90 and SP70, this initiative provides a rapid-deploy, fuel-free power source for emergency repeaters, mobile base stations, and disaster response networks. This article expands on the original Telecom App 6 page from our website, offering an in-depth guide to the technology, system design, installation process, benefits, and real-world applications, demonstrating Siemens Solar’s leadership in supporting telecom resilience.
The Need for Emergency Telecom Power
Disasters disrupt communication networks, with over 50 million people affected by power outages annually, requiring swift, reliable solutions. Diesel generators, costing $500-$1,000 per kW yearly, are slow to deploy and logistically challenging in crises. Siemens Solar’s Telecom App 6 uses SR90 modules to deliver immediate, sustainable power, supporting over 1 million off-grid telecom sites globally by 2023.
Why Solar-Powered Emergency Telecom?
- Reliability: Restores communication during outages.
- Cost Savings: Saves $300-$600 yearly per kW versus diesel.
- Sustainability: Cuts emissions by 2-4 tons per kW annually.
- Rapid Deployment: Installs in hours for crisis response.
Technology Overview
The system features SR90 (90W) or SP70 (70W) modules, portable charge controllers, inverters, and battery storage, optimized for emergency telecom needs.
System Components
| Component | Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| SR90/SP70 Modules | 14-16% efficiency | Robust power output |
| Charge Controller | 20A PWM, portable | Quick battery management |
| Battery Storage | 5-10 kWh | Ensures rapid response power |
A 1 kW SR90 array generates 1,400-1,600 kWh annually, powering an emergency repeater with a 5 kWh battery for instant deployment.
Installation Process
- Site Assessment: Quick evaluation of emergency needs.
- Design: Portable, modular layout.
- Setup: Deploys in 1-2 hours with lightweight mounts.
