Today, California's leading solar microgrid manufacturer, Paired
Power, announces its partnership with the City of Campbell to
deliver sustainable, smart energy for Campbell’s first electric
vehicle in its Public Works Service Center.
Paired Power will deliver solar electricity through its
revolutionary pop-up solar canopy, PairTree, combined with Level 2
electric vehicle (EV) chargers and management software from EV
Connect. The installation will charge the city’s first EV truck – a
Ford F-150 Lightning Pro.
“It’s gratifying to be an EV charging provider to the city in
which Paired Power was founded and has grown its made-in-America
business,” said Tom McCalmont, Paired Power CEO. "We’re proud to
offer Campbell a clean, resilient energy option and happy to
partner with EV Connect to provide onsite EV charging to power the
city’s electric vehicles.”
The infrastructure was purchased using the resiliency grant from
Silicon Valley Clean Energy, and presents a significant opportunity
for the city and its Public Works Department to integrate EVs into
its Service Center fleet.
"We're excited to add PairTree solar EV charging that's truly
green here at the Service Yard," said Peri Newby, Environmental
Program Specialist at Campbell Public Works Department. "This
installation by Paired Power and EV Connect reflects the City of
Campbell's commitment to a sustainable future and clean
energy."
Paired Power and EV Connect’s clean energy installation enables
Campbell to establish its first sustainable, resilient EV charging
infrastructure. By combining solar power with available grid power
and battery storage to deliver day or night charging for electric
vehicles, Paired Power’s PairTree provides a fully resilient source
of electricity and emergency backup power during grid outages –
helping to reduce the city’s dependence on the grid.
"We're excited to work with Paired Power to supply the City of
Campbell with a 100% renewable EV charging solution powered by the
sun, further enhancing the city’s commitment to sustainable
transportation," said Scott Kaptur, Director of Government and
Fleet Solutions at EV Connect. “Paired Power’s pioneering
technology and our advanced software provide the City of Campbell
with the tools necessary to develop top-tier services that drive
innovation and accelerate EV charging accessibility for the city’s
fleet.”
