Solar power of mobile transmitter/receiver tower antennas in remote areas

Abstract

The low cost solar power requiring for mobile transmitter/receiver tower antennas in remote areas with low traffic density and other uses in village sites, is developed. The power provides coverage to large areas having the mega cells presenting radii in the range of 100–500 km. The solar cell assembly parameters considering the top glass plate, thickness of the EVA film, back cover material, and the processing control parameters of the laminated equipment considering the temperature and duration of curing of the EVA film, vacuum pressure, are taken to obtain maximum power output in the flat panel Photovoltaic (PV) module. The line-focused solar-cell concentrator was used to reduce the cost of the PV module as concentrating the light is significantly less expensive than the cost of flat-pate module. The decrease of output power was measured by increasing the temperature of the solar cell strings. Air-cooled heat sink was used to cool the cells and the temperature variation was obtained by changing fin area and wind speed. The optimum condition related to the assembly and processing parameters of the solar cell module to obtain maximum power is shown.
