The SunPods SP-300 EV Plug-N-Go designed specifically for companies, institutions and public agencies that need an instant solar powered infrastructure solution for on-road electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and electrical industrial utility vehicles. The SunPods EV Plug-N-Go deploys rapidly, building a lasting green power infrastructure solution for today’s electrical powered vehicles.
Built with SunPods’ advanced Solar Smart Technologies™ and designed as a solar appliance. The SunPods SP-300 EV Plug-N-Go is pre-engineered, pre-manufactured, and pre-tested in a rigorous factory setting for optimal performance and delivered from our factory to your site, on your schedule, requiring minimal site preparation and no on-site assembly. SunPods are ready to interconnect and power up on delivery, requiring only an electrician to make the connections.
"We appreciate the City of San Jose for their support in setting up this solar powered EV charging station demonstration and providing the PHEV car and their continued support to Cleantech startups in San Jose and the goals the City set towards growing a green environment and the Cleantech jobs the City is helping to create", says Michael Gumm, one of SunPods co-founders.
According to Dan Jaeger, president and co-founder of SunPods, "it just didn’t make sense for us to power electric cars with electricity produced by burning coal and other carbon based fuels and make a positive environmental difference. All you are doing is trading gasoline for coal, not a good idea. The core idea behind SunPods is to make solar power simple and easy to use anywhere and to displace fossil based energy with non-carbon, clean renewable solar power".
SunPods SP-300 EV Plug-N-Go modular, integrated solar power platforms are engineered for both on-grid and off-grid installations. In one configuration, the SunPods SP-300 net-meters solar power to the grid, offsetting carbon based grid power. In another design, the SP-300 equipped using the latest battery systems provides optimal power storage and buffering between the electrical vehicle and utility grid.
The SP-300 is a bi-directional system, allowing power input and output with both solar and grid connected power sources. Smart Grid capable, as grid connections become Smart Grid enabled, utilities will be able to access and manage the SunPods stored energy at peak demand times.
SunPods is the innovator and manufacturer of SunPods Solar Smart Technology Systems. SunPods, the world’s first solar appliance are transportable, the first factory to project, modular solar power platforms for permanent placement. SunPods power up on arrival, no assembly needed and only require an electrical hookup from the inverter to power up
SunPods new innovative transportable, self-contained, modular solar power platforms are pre-engineered, pre-manufactured and pre-tested in a rigorous factory setting. Shipped from our SunPods factory to your project, on your schedule, with minimal site preparation and no on-site assembly. SunPods are ready to power up upon delivery. You only need an electrician to make the connection between the SunPod power platforms and the meter/power panel.
SunPods plug-&-play solar powered Appliance design eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming site preparation, engineering, onsite array assembly, PV module mounting and wiring and the performance uncertainties common with today’s build on-site solar installation methods and solar array construction systems. SunPods makes project management and project execution simpler and quicker. SunPods lower overhead and labor cost while reducing project completion time from weeks or months to just days or hours. It’s really that simple.
