There’s nothing worse than running out of gas, unless it’s searching for an
electric vehicle charging station and running out of charge before you can
get there. Running a close second could be baking in the sun as you wait in
your car for an appointment or coming back to a car that is hotter than the
Sahara Desert at noon.
Solar canopies and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations solve both of
those problems.
For utilities in California, the mandate by California Public Utility
Commission (CPUC), stating that there must be 128,000 EV charging stations
by 2030, takes it a step further, moving from what might have been a nice
option to a “do it now” requirement.
There is also an added benefit that you can reap when advertising that your
organization is helping people to reduce their carbon footprint using both
solar canopies and EV charging stations. Not only are people able to use
clean energy but it takes less time to cool a car that has been in the shade
vs. the sun.
EN Consulting is ready to help you meet the needs of your organization and
your clients as you pursue installing solar canopies and EV charging
stations to make life more comfortable for everyone. Solar covers lead to
happier customers, protection from heat and sun damage, and the energy from
them can be used for EV stations which will bring in more people who may
choose to shop while “filling” their car.
Whether you are in the exploration phase or beyond, our teams have the
distribution and transmission experience and expertise to not only guide you
through this process, but also offer services to help make your job easier
There are many different locations suitable for solar covers and/or EV
charging stations. Here are some examples:
