The ability to maintain connectivity and communications during critical situations is essential in an increasingly digitalized world. Recently, Conexsol faced a significant challenge in Venezuela, demonstrating the power and resilience of our solar systems in an emergency situation.
The Challenge: 10 Hours Without Power in Venezuela
On August 28, 2024, Venezuela experienced a 10-hour blackout that left much of the country without electricity. This situation threatened to disrupt critical services, including an essential radio base for local communications.
Our Response: Uninterrupted Backup for 10 Hours
Thanks to the advanced solar system and batteries installed by Conexsol, the radio base remained operational throughout the blackout. During those 10 hours, our system provided constant and reliable energy, ensuring that communications were not interrupted.
The system, based on SolarEdge technology, not only supported the continuous workload but also dynamically adjusted to the energy needs of the radio base, maximizing efficiency and ensuring a secure backup. This was possibly the greatest test these systems have faced, and they successfully passed the field test, demonstrating their reliability in extreme conditions.
The Client: Telefónica España
The client for this project is Telefónica España, one of the largest telecommunications providers in the world. Their infrastructure is crucial to maintaining connectivity throughout Venezuela, and they relied on Conexsol to ensure the continuity of their operations during this blackout.
Advantages of the SolarEdge System in Critical Situations
- Reliable Backup: SolarEdge ensures that even in power outage situations, critical infrastructures remain operational by optimizing the use of solar energy stored in batteries.
- Continued Efficiency: Throughout the 10-hour blackout, the system maintained its efficiency, making the most of the stored energy and managing the energy demand intelligently.
- Safety and Durability: With advanced safety features, the system remained stable and secure throughout the backup period, demonstrating its reliability in extreme conditions.
Impact and Conclusion
This experience highlights the importance of having efficient and reliable backup systems in an environment where power interruptions are a reality. At Conexsol, we are proud to have provided a solution that not only withstood a 10-hour power outage but did so without compromising the operability of critical services. The successful field test confirms the robustness and reliability of our solutions in the most challenging conditions.
