A national leader in turnkey photovoltaic systems and a member of The Alpha Group, Alpha Energy recently launched a solar charging station designed for electric vehicles.
The Solar Charging Station lets people take their short commute completely off the grid. People buy an electric vehicle to save money on gas and minimize their carbon footprint, but they still need to plug that vehicle into the century-old fossilfueled power grid. The solar charging station enables people to harvest free electricity from the sun, which makes for carbon-free transportation.
We are very excited about the positive response this system received when we showed it recently at Solar Power 2007. Judging by this and the amount of information requests following the show, there is clearly a demand for a solar-powered commute vehicle.
Alpha Energy’s EV Charging Station is a scalable system combining Alpha PV panels with a power converter and charger to provide the necessary energy to recharge an electric vehicle. Systems can be installed on pre-existing structures like a garage or car port, or on a freestanding structure that can serve as a protective covering to shield your electric scooter from the damaging effects of the weather.
