USA: The town of Lansing celebrates the Earth Day with the installation at the riverside City Market of the 5 kW solar carport 'Energy-Parking', functioning as EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment), supplied by the Italian company Giulio Barbieri in collaboration with its Canadian partner Renewz Sustainable Solutions Inc.
The launch event was headlined by Mayor Virg Bernero, whose presence signified the importance of this initiative to Lansing area.
The project for the EV charging station was developed by renewz with EV chargers by Eaton, solar panels by SILFAB Americas and high-tech LED lighting and highly visible side and top banners, The modular aluminium structure of the carport system is designed to be 100percent waterproof and fully wind, snow and seismic code compliant. Its installation is rapid avoiding expensive and invasive foundation trenching thanks to its ballasted design.
The innovative solar powered EV charging station is intended to generate enough clean, renewable energy to recharge the fleet of the Lansing Board of Water & Light - the municipal utility that provides electricity and water to the residents of the cities of Lansing - for 25 years. It will reduce Lansing's greenhouse gas emissions by more than 115 tons and permit more than 482.800 km clean driving.
