The installation of Paired Power’s PairTree solar EV charger reflects California American Water’s disaster-preparedness and commitment to help meet California’s emission reduction goals and improve locals’ air quality, health, and safety.
California American Water recognises that access to clean water is essential for businesses to thrive and for communities to flourish. Investing in EV infrastructure is about both safeguarding public health and the environment. According to the EPA’s emission rates calculator, California American Water will be able to prevent 4,472 pounds – which is roughly the weight of a Tesla Model Y – of CO2 from being emitted in the air annually by using PairTree to charge one vehicle.
Paired Power’s PairTree' is a US-made solar canopy that combines solar power with available grid power and battery storage to deliver day or night charging for electric vehicles. As a fully resilient source of electricity, PairTree can also provide emergency backup power during grid outages and help reduce users’ dependence on the grid.
PairTree can be used for both standalone solar power, or for microgrid renewable power with optional grid connection. Built with durability in mind, PairTree installation takes less than a day and fits into a standard 9 x 18 foot parking space. PairTree offers both one or two Level 2 EV charging ports with the industry standard J1772 EV interface, and is wind-rated up to 130 mph, which is ideal for regions with unpredictable weather patterns.
