Brightfields new T4 is ideal for big parking lots on airports, campuses, malls and military bases. We plan to build our 1st T4 Brightfield® by early 2014. Starting at 30KW, the T4 spans your parking lot to provide more “solar fuel”, higher tax credit values, and increased charging station access for your burgeoning fleet of EV’s. The T4 Brightfield® is built on our patent-pending Bollard technology designed to span over 60′, and run to either side indefinitely. We do not specify a roof membrane on the T4 to decrease mass, wind, and snow loads. Without the membrane, the PV panels provide minimal protection from rain, and offer significant shading and UV protection.
Scalable for any “solar fuel” requirement, the Brightfield® delivers renewable energy from the sun to the power (or micro-) grid whenever the sun is shining. For security, it draws energy from the grid to charge electric vehicles during the day or night, rain or shine.
Your customers and employees can finally enjoy living “Solar Driven”®. You can account for their fuel usage by providing the clean energy that gets them to and from your building. The shade provided to vehicles protects their interior from UV and saves on fuel costs related to cooling the cars interior. That unseen benefit may become what people notice 1st. Then months later they’ll thank you for providing them clean fuel at a very low price.
The Brightfield® Family of EV Infrastructure solutions contains the building blocks of intelligent and durable infrastructure for wide scale deployment. Brightfield® Charging Stations are available in a many configurations depending on your site’s characteristics.
