Cost savings: Although solar powered BSs have a high CAPEX (capital expenditure), the OPEX (operating expenditure) is much smaller, leading to cost savings on the long run. The bulk of the savings in the OPEX comes from the cost of energy, specially in areas where network operators have to rely on diesel generators.
Solar Installed System Cost Analysis. NREL analyzes the total costs associated with installing photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential rooftop, commercial rooftop, and utility-scale ground-mount systems.

Extensive research has been conducted on leveraging the flexibility of 5G BSs for optimal grid regulation. The potential of 5G BSs to participate in demand response was demonstrated in [11].Furthermore, an optimal day-ahead scheduling strategy for the BES of 5G BSs interacting with the grid was proposed in [12], achieving economically optimal operation of 5G BSs.
The O&M cost of the PV array considered low is $450 which is computed as 4.5 kW (size) × $10/1 kW (cost) × 10 years (macro LTE-BS lifetime). Due to the higher lifetime of PV panels (25 years) compared with project lifetime (10 years); the replacement cost of the solar system is zero.
