GreenEnco Ltd has announced another milestone towards the journey against climate change. This is a custom-made off-grid system comprise of a solar photovoltaic (PV) module, a hybrid inverter, battery storage, and an EV charger. This can also be implemented as an on-grid system application.
GreenEnco has designed and implemented this innovative solution of a zero-emission EV charging station under the Innovating for Clean Air (IfCA) programme by Energy System Catapult, UK. The Innovating for Clean Air (IfCA) programme aims to support UK and Indian firms to tackle air pollution, by introducing innovations that improve air quality monitoring, addressing challenges related to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, power grid management, and integration of renewable energy.
Dr. Jyotirmoy Roy, Founder, and CEO of GreenEnco said “We have committed with our integrated green energy solution to help develop the fast EV charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in India. Our innovative solution will not only make an environmental impact but locally procured system components will also help to develop a sustainable socio-economical ecosystem in India”
IISc Bengaluru has played a pivotal role to host and facilitate the implementation of this initiative under an India-UK collaboration to fight against climate change. The charging facility is available behind the JRD Tata Memorial Library and the solar PV system has been installed on the roof of the Library.
IISc Sustainable Transportation Lab (IST Lab) and GreenEnco will conduct the impact assessment of this charging facility under convenor Ashish Verma's supervision. The expected outcome of this project is technical data analysis of solar PV performance and EV charging mechanism, commercial charging fees mechanism, customer behaviour of EV users, and support policy framework of e-mobility in India and its challenges & opportunities.
This charging facility has been inaugurated by Prof. Govindan Rangrajan, Director of IISc, and Mr. Jeremy Pilmore-Bedford, the British Deputy High Commissioner in Bangalore.
This project has established a strong collaboration between academia and industry partners from India and UK. GreenEnco is honoured to partner with Vikram Solar Ltd and FIMER. Vikram Solar has provided their high-efficiency mono PERC half-cut PV modules and FIMER has provided inverter, battery storage, and EV charger.
