Paired Power has said that its new 5 kW solar canopy measures 3.5 meters by 4.5 meters by 4.5 meters and can house up to 10 bifacial solar panels.It can be used in on-grid or off-grid modes and can be paired with lithium-ion battery storage systems up to 40 kWh in size.The Californian company Paired Power has presented a 5 kW solar carport with integrated electric vehicle charging capacity.Your PairTree product can be used in on-grid or off-grid mode and can be paired with lithium-ion battery systems with storage capacities up to 40 kWh.“The product is currently only sold in the United States.Paired Power is focused on the US market, but will look into international opportunities further down the line,” a company spokesperson told pv magazine.The carport can house up to 10 bifacial solar modules and can be installed in a single business day, with just two workers using standard hand tools.“Installing electric vehicle chargers and traditional solar canopies is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, not to mention construction disruptions and delays,” said CEO Tom McCalmont.“We have designed PairTree to eliminate these hassles and make the transition to solar power and electric vehicle charging easy and scalable, as well as being modular enough to adapt to future needs.”The system measures 3 meters by 4 meters by 4 meters and supports charging from one or two “level 2” ports and a universal SAE J1772 charging interface.The 5-pin J1772 is a North American standard for electrical connectors for electric vehicles.The canopy sits on a ballasted steel base, which the company says allows customers to avoid costly foundation work and permitting delays.PairTree offers additional options of batteries or ground screws to secure the charger in high winds.PairTree is designed to be installed side by side in multi-unit configurations for additional power output to power additional chargers.The company also claims that the system requires minimal maintenance, as there are no moving parts.“AC charging stations are offered to support Level 2 charging, and 120V outlet panels can be added to support temporary or emergency power,” he explained.“PairTree orders can be placed now with general delivery expected to begin in the second quarter of 2023.”This content is copyrighted and may not be reused.If you want to cooperate with us and want to reuse some of our content, please contact: editors@pv-magazine.com.See our rules for commenting on articles here.Your email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.Receive an email with the following comments to this entry.Receive an email with each new entry.By submitting this form, you agree that pv magazine uses your data for the purpose of publishing your comment.Your personal data will only be disclosed or passed on to third parties to prevent spam filtering or if necessary for technical maintenance of the website.Any other transfer to third parties will not take place unless justified on the basis of applicable data protection regulations or if pv magazine is legally obliged to do so.You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future, in which case your personal data will be deleted immediately.Otherwise, your data will be deleted when pv magazine has processed your request or if the purpose of data storage has been fulfilled.You can find more information about data privacy in our Data Protection Policy.Imprint Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy © pv magazine 2022This website uses cookies to anonymously count visitor numbers.For more information, see our Data Protection Policy.×The cookie settings on this website are set to "allow cookies" to give you the best browsing experience possible.If you continue to use this website without changing your cookie settings or you click "Accept" below then you are consenting to this.
