Solar Hybrid Installation

Turnkey solar-hybrid site delivered for IPT on the MTN network in the South-East.

IPT South-East Feb 1, 2021 — Jul 31, 2021
Overview

About the project

On the MTN network, working for IPT, Evergreen delivered a turnkey solar-hybrid site in the South-East. Telecom sites need power that never stops, and diesel-only sites are expensive to run. Our hybrid design pairs solar generation with storage and backup so the site stays up while cutting fuel costs and emissions — the model we believe is the future of telecom power across the region.

Challenge, solution, outcome

Challenge

Telecom sites demand near-continuous uptime, and diesel-only power is costly and carbon-heavy.

Solution
