Vodafone is busy expanding its telecom network, partly in connection with the arrival of 5G. To achieve this, a large number of new transmission towers are needed in the Netherlands. However, this is challenging, particularly in outlying areas, because the construction of the network connections takes a relatively long time. In order to act faster, telecom giant Ericsson needs a quick and temporary solution to get the transmission masts up and running.

To arrange the expansion of the Vodafone Telecom network in a sustainable way. The goal is to make the energy supply for the 5G transmission tower both sustainable and financially attractive. The costs must be lower than using other polluting energy options. In short, good for both the environment and the customer’s energy costs.
The main challenge is providing enough power to get the 5G transmission towers up and running, in the short term. Building new network connections takes a long time, especially in rural areas. The telecom provider benefits from the fastest possible supply of power so that the 5G transmission towers can be turned on. A challenge Volta Energy is happy to take on.
A financial saving of almost 40%. Volta Energy’s 45 kVA solar generator was used for a total of 36 days for an Ericsson transmission tower in Waardenburg. Because the genset’s PV panels managed to generate a significant amount of energy, the backup genset only had to run for 54 hours, instead of 864 hours with a diesel genset or HVO B100 biodiesel genset. Only 175 gallons of diesel were consumed, a savings of nearly 2,500 gallons! At the bottom line, this project thus achieved financial savings of a whopping 37.3% compared to a conventional diesel aggregate and savings of as much as 79% compared to an HVO B100 aggregate. Meanwhile, nature was also satisfied with a saving of 8869 kilograms of CO2 emissions and 11.9 kilograms of NOx emissions.
Despite the fact that the results achieved in Waardenburg are already certainly satisfying, Volta Energy is meanwhile investigating possibilities to save the last liters of diesel as well. In this way we are working towards an even more sustainable future, in which we hope to replace the energy supply at many more locations with our sustainable solar generators.
The power generators come in different sizes - from 6 kVA to 120 kVA - so that all construction sites and events can be supplied with renewable energy on site. Our bio-solar-hybrid generators are more sustainable than conventional diesel generators and hybrid diesel-battery generators. When the sun is not shining, our generators automatically switch from solar to battery and then to bio-diesel genset. This way, we make sure you always have power..

We have been renting a solar generator for our work in Armhem for over six months now. My experience during that period with Volta has been more than positive, committed people with an eye for customer and quality.

We asked Roel to help think about our Sun in the City project. He was immediately enthusiastic and came to our rescue. We used the Volta Energy Naos for a co-creation session at a neighbourhood party in Rotterdam. We were able to connect our computer with VR glasses directly to the system - that impressed the neighbourhood a lot! In addition, the system was enthusiastically used by the food stalls at the festival.

Cool solar-based green power supply, coming with an incredible nice service. Very friendly, very helpful, everything gets installed and checked. Great team!
Jeanine Roelse
For the Lower House elections in the municipality of Rotterdam, we gratefully used Volta Energy's solar generators. Volta delivers more than just a beautiful and reliable product with a positive message and functional purpose. Roel made a tremendously positive contribution to this project throughout the entire process, thereby relieving us of all our worries.
Dion Bossers
Fine service, good coverage and our entire event ran on solar power: top!

Sustainable, reliable and, on balance, cheaper than a diesel aggregate. Rented on behalf of Boskalis Netherlands.
Michael Verstraeten
An innovative, professional and dynamic company is Volta Energy. Very helpful and with a problem-solving mindset. Very nice experience to work with and hire.
JW van der Klugt
Working with Volta Energy for the first time. This turned out well. A company you can make good agreements with (which they then honour) and they have nice equipment. Worth repeating.
