“Telecommunications equipment must operate reliably 24/7. This requires uninterrupted power availability.

"EFOY Pro solutions free our customers from this hassle. They are fully autonomous and weather-independent, and they provide up to 12 months of power autonomy, saving the operators expensive site visits for replacing batteries or maintaining generators. And there is another feature driving our customers’ interest: The EFOY Pro solutions are environmentally friendly. This offers major benefits in remote and protected areas. “

"Our EFOY Pro solutions are fast becoming a gold standard for reliable off-grid power, in various vertical markets e.g. security, oil & gas and telecommunications , where power reliability is critical", says Martin Curtis, Managing Director of Simark Controls and President Oil & Gas of SFC Energy. “There are three reasons for their growing success: They are utterly flexible and can be customized and hybridized for 100% power reliability in even the most demanding application requirements. They are fully autonomous over long periods of time, enabling significant cost and logistics savings. And they feature ultimate environmental friendliness, helping operators meet environmental laws and regulations.”
