Etisalat Off-Grid Solar Site, UAE

Parnered with Etisalat to implement a Solar Hybrid Application, transforming off-grid site operations in the UAE. By integrating a 30kVA Diesel Generator with three 7.1kWh ENCAP modules, they drastically reduced DG runtime to only 6 hours. This breakthrough not only led to substantial Opex savings but also established a new benchmark for efficiency and sustainability in off-grid telecommunications infrastructure, showcasing the power of renewable energy integration.

The project’s success underscores Emtel Group’s commitment to pioneering innovative solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of the telecommunications industry. Through their Solar Hybrid Application, they have demonstrated the potential for renewable energy to drive cost-effective and environmentally friendly operations, setting a precedent for future advancements in off-grid site management.
