What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NBN Co is conducting a proof-of-concept trial of a solar panel 'sleeve' designed to enhance fixed wireless services during power outages. The trial is taking place at a live nbn fixed wireless site in New Gisborne, Victoria. The flexible solar laminate solution, developed by Decon Corporation, aims to demonstrate how onsite solar generation can improve network resilience while reducing energy demand. Early results indicate the system can generate the equivalent of up to 40 per cent of total site power demand during daylight hours.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The initiative focuses on using alternative renewable energy sources to strengthen network resiliency against mains power outages in affected communities. Combined with existing battery storage, the solar sleeve system has the potential to maintain connectivity for nearby customers for up to 12 hours during a power outage.
