Paired Power Secures Patent for Revolutionary Solar Canopy & EV Charger Combo

California-based Paired Power has received a U.S. patent for its PairTree system—a freestanding solar canopy with integrated Level 2 EV charging that can be installed in just one day, without heavy machinery or construction permits.

🔋 Key Features & Benefits

✅ All-in-One Design – Combines solar canopy, battery storage (42 kWh), and EV charging in a single unit
✅ No Cranes Needed – Hand-raised scissor-lift design (x-brace structure locks into place)
✅ Rapid Deployment – Installs on any flat surface with ground screws (withstands 130 mph winds)
✅ Level 2 Charging – Supports 1-2 EVs (up to 150 miles/day)
✅ Microgrid-Ready – Works off-grid or tied to existing solar arrays

🏗️ Why This Is a Big Deal?

🔹 Solves the "Big Parking Lot Problem" – Brings solar EV charging to small businesses, leased properties & remote sites
🔹 No Permits or Trenching – Skips utility approvals and disruptive construction
🔹 Scalable – Multiple units can be linked for expanded charging

⚡ Market Potential

✔ Businesses – Offer charging for employees/customers without infrastructure overhauls
✔ Fleets – PairFleet version available for larger deployments
✔ Microgrids – Ideal for off-grid or disaster-resilient charging

🚗 The Bottom Line

Paired Power’s PairTree eliminates the biggest barriers to solar-powered EV charging: costly installation, permits, and space constraints. With day-one operation and no heavy equipment, this could democratize access to clean energy charging.
