Currently the transportation industry is witnessing an increasing interest in electric vehicles, especially those harnessing solar energy. This has in turn resulted in a growing demand for solar powered charging stations for the same. Sensing the opportunity, Duo-Gard Industries Inc., a Michigan based company in the field of designing and installing sustainable illumination solutions since the last 27 years has recently come up with customized and standard solar charging stations, which are also consistent with the LEED compliance regulations.
These turnkey solar charging stations designed in accordance with the needs of the project include engineering, fabrication and installation services in addition to technical and field support with regards to the inverters, photovoltaics and metering required for making necessary grid connections. Also, with its ready to use on delivery approach, Duo-Gard has made the use of these stations easier for designers and architects. Not just its ready-to-use features, but the Duo-Gard canopy of solar panels which promotes alternative transportation, has also been designed with continuous components which completely seal the panels against the extremes of weather, especially rain and snow. Considering that solar canopies from other manufacturers usually have gaps between the panels, this weather proof continuous design feature can be considered as the USP of their solar charging stations.
Additionally, Duo-Gard has also taken special care that architectural aesthetics aren’t sacrificed while designing this efficient solar charging station. Their designers have using specialized steel fabrication methods, perfected with their 27 years of experience; given this solar panel canopy a distinctive customized look. The resultant aesthetically designed, efficient, customized and weather proof solar charging station also has one more distinct advantage – it is a net zero energy structure, meaning that it also can be used to store energy which can be used later on.
Hence, this solar charging station can be used to provide additional facilities such as being coupled with machines used for payments, as its stored energy can be utilized, thereby facilitating the owner to make profits so as to recoup the capital used for initial investment. With these turnkey solar harvesting stations that has distinct advantages over those currently in the market; Duo-Gard Industries Inc. has not just made a sound business decision, but has also done its bit for the environment.
