Solar Powered ERT
With new technology, Emergency Roadside Telephones (ERT) can be powered by
compact solar cells, across the motorway and trunk road network .
The solar cells are designed to sit in a purpose build enclosure on top of the
roadside telephone pillars and generate up to 2kW of power directly into a rechargeable battery.
The use of solar power enables the roadside emergency telephones to be fully
self-powered and installed in remote areas.
