Solar Canopies & EV Charging Stations

SOLAR CANOPIES
& EV CHARGING
STATIONS
HELPING CLIENTS’
CUSTOMERS KEEP COOL
AND RECHARGE
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.
