Abstract
The dimensioning of photovoltaic (PV) panel and battery sizes is one of the major issues regarding the design of solar powered cellular base stations (BSs). This letter proposes a multistate Markov model for the hourly harvested solar energy to determine the cost optimal PV panel and battery dimensions for a given tolerable outage probability at a cellular BS.
