Abstract
Solar power systems used in telecommunications applications are designed to provide reliable power sources at optimal cost. To reduce costs, many such power systems are designed on a marginal basis. Parameter and component variations can reduce the reliability of such systems and in some cases result in system failure. This paper analyses the design of solar power systems and the effects of variations on system performance
