The genset has a high capacity internal fuel tank and also has a 100% biofuel option. “The 100% biofuel option combined with solar allows for green energy deployments to control a wide range of remote equipment including cellular sites, microwave communications sites, environmental monitoring stations and remote defence assets” said Mr Albury.

Increasing numbers of remote cellular sites are being run on a combination of diesel and solar systems. The GSM Association’s Green Power for Mobile programme is an initiative to advance the use of renewable energy sources by the mobile industry to power 118,000 new and existing off-grid base stations in developing countries. So far just over 10,000 sites have been installed with a further 10,000 planned.

Telgenco also believes there is a good business case for use of its systems in developed countries.
