Base station operators deploy a large number of distributed photovoltaics to solve the problems of high energy consumption and high electricity costs of 5G base stations.

This study presents an overview of sustainable and green cellular base stations (BSs), which account for most of the energy consumed in cellular networks. We review the architecture of the BS and the power consumption model, and then summarize the trends in green cellular network research over the past decade.
Recognizing this, Mobile Network Operators are actively prioritizing EE for both network maintenance and environmental stewardship in future cellular networks. The paper aims to provide an outline of energy-efficient solutions for base stations of wireless cellular networks.
Therefore, low-carbon upgrades to communication base stations can effectively improve the economics of local energy use while reducing local environmental pollution and gaining public health benefits. For this research, we recommend further in-depth exploration in three areas for the future.
Our findings revealed that the nationwide electricity consumption would reduce to 54,101.60 GWh due to the operation of communication base stations (95% CI: 53,492.10–54,725.35 GWh) (Figure 2 C), marking a reduction of 35.23% compared with the original consumption. We also predicted the reduction of pollutant emissions after the upgrade.
In 2021, the annual electricity consumption from communication base stations was 83,525.81 GWh, and it is estimated to rise to 458,495.18 GWh by 2030 (average across three scenarios), with an increase of 448.93% compared with 2021.
In Figure 5 A, after implementing optimization measures to communication base stations, the cases of COPDs related to air pollution caused by communication base stations in 2021 would be reduced to 13,004 (65% reduction). The effectiveness of these optimizations becomes more pronounced in the following year.
