Financing Solution for Off-Grid Solar Container Fast Charging

What is an off-grid EV charging station?

An off-grid EV charging station is a self-contained power plant that can charge one or more electric vehicles without a permanent connection to the utility grid. Solar panels capture energy, a charger controller conditions the power, batteries store it for later use, and an inverter supplies the alternating current required by most chargers.

What makes a solar-off-grid Solar System a good choice?

Falling module prices, advanced lithium-ion BESS (including second-life EV packs), and modular power-electronics enable bankable designs from 5 kW to multi-megawatt scale. A solar-off-grid primer emphasises the importance of right-sizing each component so that generation, storage and load remain balanced across seasonal variations.

What is a solar-off-grid primer?

A solar-off-grid primer emphasises the importance of right-sizing each component so that generation, storage and load remain balanced across seasonal variations. Fixed installations anchor panels on rooftops or steel canopies. A leading automotive company’s solar station for two-wheeler fleets in semi-urban corridors illustrates this approach.

What is sparkcharge funding?

The new funding includes a $15.5 million Series A-1 round led by Monte’s Fam and a $15 million venture loan from Horizon Technology Finance. Founded in 2017, SparkCharge says it operates the largest off-grid EV charging network for fleets in the world.
