Vehicle Charging
The future of motoring is electric. The motoring industry is witnessing enormous growth in electric vehicle sales year on year, every year. Many European manufacturers have already put deadlines on their last production models being powered by traditional internal combustion engines, and those dates are sooner than you think. Maybe you have or soon will be considering an electric vehicle. There are many reasons to do so; it could be the reduced carbon footprint and environmental benefits that have you interested. Or it could be the potentially huge long-term savings to be found from cutting down on your monthly fuel bill. Whatever the reason; the answer is generally going to be solar-powered charging. It’s a sustainable energy source, regardless of what your local power grid is running off. Folsom Solar Company has you covered for all things solar, including vehicle charging stations.
Getting the Spec Right
There is no one size fits all solution for solar vehicle charging. All cars are different; from the battery capacity to how efficiently they make use of those batteries. Knowing how many kilowatt-hours a vehicle needs to get from point A to B can be complicated. Then of course each driver is different, some driving multiple times a day, others less so. Figuring out what kind of solar charging capacity you are going to need to suit your specific needs can be a daunting prospect. The Folsom Solar Company can step in and take over the heavy lifting.
Equipment Options
Once we have determined the solar energy requirements for your needs, there are a variety of possible charging solutions to choose from. Many opt for grid-tied solar electric systems so that when the sun goes down, the power grid takes over to ensure continuous charge availability. It is of course possible to also go for a fully off-the-grid solar charging station. Furthermore, there are different levels of chargers. Some charging stations such as Level 2 chargers are able to charge vehicles much faster than Level 1 chargers if you have enough solar energy to feed them of course.
Advantages of Solar electric battery charging
There are many advantages to opting for solar battery chargers, the first being that it is quiet and easy to use. Of course, because it is solar, the longevity of the battery is maximized and this is because solar panels are able to generate pure DC electricity through sunlight. A solar vehicle charger requires little to no maintenance and is also independent. Because a solar charger is electrical independent, it does not matter where you are where you decide to go, you are able to charge your vehicle from where ever you are. Lastly, a solar charger is also very safe to use.
Bright Electric Future
The future of motoring is electric. Pairing an electric charging station with solar power is one of the leading solutions for this electric future. Maximize your energy savings, help the environment, reduce your carbon footprint, and keep the electric future shining solar bright. Edmonton Solar Company can specify, supply, and safely install the solar electric system as well as the vehicle charging station for home or public/commercial use. Battery storage will also be important to consider if you are heading towards a fully off the grid solution, and once again, we can assist with the right product to meet your energy storage demands.
