Ethio Telecom, in collaboration with Huawei, has announced the successful commercial deployment and stable operation of the first batch of Solar-on-Tower solutions in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This collaboration marks a new phase for Ethio Telecom in its push for a green, low-carbon transformation. It will advance clean energy applications, build a green network, and set a new technological benchmark for African telecommunications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Solar-on-Tower solution innovatively integrates photovoltaic panels on telecom towers, effectively addressing the challenges of limited land and insufficient space for installing solar power systems in cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ethio Telecom\u2019s installation enabled the site to generate and use its own solar power within just two days. Based on the first batch of Solar-on-Tower deployment, the solar power supply at the sites can last up to four hours, while diesel generator use is correspondingly reduced from six hours to two hours \u2013 a 40% reduction in fuel consumption per site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thousands of sites in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, are facing space constraints, making it impossible to adopt more energy-efficient technology such as traditional ground-based photovoltaic solutions. Solar-on-Tower represents the first solution to provide an efficient and feasible path for Africa\u2019s telecommunications industry to accelerate the replacement of traditional energy with clean energy in space-constrained scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the future, both Ethio Telecom and Huawei will continue to jointly build high-quality ICT energy infrastructure, promoting the greening and low-carbon transformation of networks and enhancing network resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
