RICHARDSON, Texas -- Eltek, the world leader in high efficiency power systems, today announced it has completed an off-grid hybrid solar power installation for Verizon Wireless.
The company installed a Flatpack2 High Efficiency (HE) hybrid solar-propane DC power system at Verizon’s Bear Mountain, Calif., wireless basestation. The cell site is located in a remote Northern California area near Mt. Shasta and serves both local residents and a large population of recreational hikers and outdoor lovers.
The Bear Mountain cell site has no access to utility power and instead it relied on propane generators and a 20-year-old hybrid solar power system to keep it running around the clock.
