Business Wire
Leading U.S. solar microgrid manufacturer Paired Power announces
its partnership with California American Water to deliver resilient
EV charging without relying solely on the grid.
The installation of Paired Power’s solar EV charger PairTree™
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.
“We’re honored that California American Water chose Paired Power
to help power its electric vehicles,” said Paired Power CEO Tom
McCalmont. “We made PairTree with the future in mind, and it’s
exciting to see our charging solution being embraced by such a
respected and forward-thinking institution that serves three
quarters of a million Californians.”
California American Water recognizes 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.
"We are excited to work with Paired Power to complete this
important project that will allow us to reduce our carbon footprint
and reduce costs to customers," said Kevin Tilden, President of
California American Water. "Utilizing Paired Power’s clean electric
power and storage 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.”
Paired Power’s “PairTree'' is a U.S.-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. It has no moving
parts, and doesn’t require ongoing maintenance like other
problematic “tracker” charging solutions. 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.
