Therefore, modern facilities tend to use renewable energy sources instead of traditional sources. One renewable source is the photovoltaic panel, which made from semiconductor materials which absorb sunlight to generate electricity. This article discusses the importance of using solar panels to produce energy for mobile stations and also a solution to some environmental problems such as pollution. This article provides a design for a solar-power plant to feed the mobile station. Also, in this article is a prediction of all loads, the power consumed, the number of solar panels used, and solar batteries can be used to store electrical energy. Finally, an estimation of the costs of all components will be presented. Good discussion and conclusion will be presented about the results obtained. The results obtained are promising. In addition, a future plan is described to complete this important study.

INTRoDUCTIoN With the development of information and technology and the fast increase in considerable data traffic, the energy consumption by the network is also respectively increasing. The preparation of 3G and 4G technologies are significantly contributed to the increase in power consumption in the communication sector (Ratheesh & Vetrivelan, 2016). The BS (base station) is the main source of energy consumption in the wireless access network (Chen et al., 2011). It has been estimated that more than 57% of the operator total energy consumption is in the BS (Bogucka & Conti, 2011; Chen et al., 2011; Chen et al., 2011; Han et al., 2011; Ratheesh & Vetrivelan, 2016) and there are about 3 million BSs worldwide that consume about 4.5 GW of power (Kumari, 2016). More than 50% of the total consumed energy of the communication network is consumed by the radio access part, whereas 50-80% is consumed for the power amplifier (PA). Many (BS) stations in rural areas that are not connected to the power grid are powered by diesel generators for all day and night as well as a backup power source for few hours per day in urban and
