We have already sourced a 7.5 kW solar panel system to be installed on a hangar roof. This system chargers an array of batteries which then runs through an inverter to run the supercharging system. It can be complemented any time by connection to the mains grid. This system is ready to go except it is impossible to find solar panel installers working over Christmas/New Year and will have to wait until February for this to be installed.
We are also ordering what is called the " EV ARC" system in the USA
EV ARC? 4 ? Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger | Envision Solar this is a complete standalone system and will be deployed in the USA originally between Los Angeles and Sacramento. This system is not connected to anything so it does not require any approvals because it is considered a mobile charging station because it can be packed up and moved in less than one hour
