Reliable on-site power sources are necessary for the continuous operation of telecommunication systems. Cell towers and repeaters require constant power to ensure network stability, and maintaining and charging generators is expensive, inefficient and time consuming. As networks develop and expand, more and more companies are turning to alternative energy solutions to power their telecommunications infrastructure. The adoption of solar energy in telecommunication towers is considered a sustainable innovation in powering the towers. However, the tendency that emerges among the actors involved is that if and when disaster strikes due to failure in the operation and management of solar PV after its installation, they will most likely be inclined to turn on each other. In such a situation, questions arise: how to locate responsibility, who should answer to whom and how to distribute responsibility proportionally? Through a case study, this paper considers and analyzes the question of how to solve the problem by undertaking a stakeholder and impact analysis, an analysis of the five dimensions of responsible innovation, namely: anticipation, reflexivity, responsiveness, reflection and participation.
