We propose a mathematical model that captures the synergy between solar installation over a network and the dynamic operation of energy-managed base stations. Base stations that are powered by energy harvested from solar radiation not only reduce the carbon footprint of cellular networks, they can also be implemented with lower capital cost as. . In addition to this, installing a solar harvesting sys-tem composed of solar panels, batteries, charge con-trollers and inverters is another way to further reduce the network environmental impact and some research has been dealing with this for individual base stations. In this paper, we show that. . The communication base station installs solar panels outdoors, and adds MPPT solar controllers and other equipment in the computer room. The power generated by solar energy is used by the DC load of the base station computer room, and the insufficient power is supplemented by energy storage. . Abstract: The rapid growth of mobile communication technology and the corresponding significant increase in the number of cellular base stations (BSs) have increased operational expenses (OPEX) for mobile operators, due to increased electricity prices and fossil fuel consumption. Solar Charge Controller: This is essential for managing the flow of electricity to and from the batteries.
