Step into the future with PairTree, the pioneering solar canopy designed to energize electric vehicles (EVs) while being completely detached from the grid. Created by Paired Power, a leading player in the solar charging infrastructure in the United States, this system is not only revolutionary in its design but also in its performance.
Effortless Installation and Exceptional Efficiency
With an installation time that is nothing short of miraculous, PairTree defies complexity, requiring a mere four hours to become operational. It tucks away seamlessly into a standard parking space with its convenient ballasted steel basis. Its special feature? The integration of bifacial solar panels. These advanced 4.6 kW units cleverly capture sunlight from both sides and thereby boost energy production by up to 15% when juxtaposed with regular panels, delivering the punch of a much larger 5.3 kW solar array.
Robust Energy Storage for Enhanced Range
Equipped with a robust UL 9450-listed lithium iron phosphate battery storage system, PairTree sets the stage for a wide range of daily mileage possibilities, offering 75 to 230 miles on a single charge based on selected capacity. It’s capable of powering one or two Level 2 EV chargers, flexible for differing charging needs.
Built tough, the system effortlessly operates within extreme temperature variations from -20F to 120F and remains unfazed even when facing winds up to 130 mph.
Smart Charging at Your Fingertips
PairTree’s user experience is further enhanced by the launch of the “Paired Powered” app, co-developed with EvGateway. This app is not just a convenience; it’s a gateway to managing charging sessions securely and accessing online assistance round-the-clock. Plus, it ensures that the EV chargers and solar mechanisms receive updates and diagnostics remotely.
Investment and Rewards
Though advanced in technology, PairTree’s price tag is accessible, ranging from $28,000 to $78,000, fluctuating with battery size and charger count. Adding installation to the equation may raise the total up to an additional $5,000. However, the Inflation Reduction Act offers a silver lining, with potential tax credits returning 40% of the investment back to the buyer.
PairTree in Action
In a real-world application, September 2023 marked a milestone when PairTree was chosen to energize a Monarch electric tractor at the Kaerskov Vineyard and Carr Winery in California. This is a testament, not only to the innovation that PairTree embodies but also to the trust and reliability that Paired Power has cultivated in the sustainable energy and EV industries.
