“We are excited to partner with Paired Power to provide the City of Campbell with a 100% renewable, solar-powered electric vehicle charging solution, further strengthening the City’s commitment to sustainable transportation,” said Scott Kaptur, Director of Government and Fleet Solutions at EV Connect.

The PairTree solar canopy consists of bifacial solar panels and a 42.4 kWh energy storage system. The off-grid solar-powered EV charger includes up to two Level 2 charging ports with charging power of up to 5.3 kW. The PairTree is typically intended for remote locations, such as concert halls and military facilities, Paired Power said. The energy storage system is UL9450 certified.

“The solar panels have a power output of 4.6 kW, and the maximum battery capacity is 42.4 kWh, which is enough to provide a range of 75 to 230 miles,” Paired Power said.
