EV Charging
Solaflect Energys Apollo EV charging stations provide 100% off-grid operation with no utility interconnection required. These systems install in one day using pre-cast foundations, avoiding parking lot excavation. Solar-powered charging supports up to four vehicles daily, ideal for workplaces or residential areas with extended vehicle parking. The design eliminates electrical service upgrades and permits, reducing installation time to weeks instead of months.
Battery Storage
FranklinWH battery systems offer whole-home energy management with 15 kWh storage capacity and 20-year lifespan. These lithium iron phosphate units integrate solar, grid, or generator power for uninterrupted energy flow during outages. Outdoor/indoor flexibility and smart load management optimize power use, reducing peak billing periods while supporting EV charging compatibility.
Residential Solar
Solar trackers generate 40% more energy than fixed panels by following the suns daily arc. Systems are installed without roof modifications, avoiding leaks or structural concerns. Custom site assessments identify optimal sun exposure locations, with remote monitoring ensuring peak performance. Over 1,300 installations across New England demonstrate reliability in diverse weather conditions.
