A DC EV Charging Plaza combines solar energy with electric vehicle (EV) charging using a DC microgrid. Today, connecting solar panels (PV systems) and EV chargers directly to the public power grid is becoming more difficult because of grid congestion. By linking the solar panels and chargers together in a DC system, you can use a smaller connection to the public grid – saving money and reducing waiting time for grid access.
What DC Opportunities Can Offer for Your Charging Plaza
We provide the following in-house developed technology for your DC EV Charging Plaza:
- DC/DC PV MPPT Converters: Up to twice as efficient as current products on the market due to a partial-power configuration.
- DC/DC EV Chargers: Dual 11 kW outputs: charge two cars with one charger.
- DC Solid-State Circuit Breakers: With built-in energy monitoring and ultra-fast fault clearance (<1 µs), allowing for smaller cables and lower costs.
- DC/DC Battery Chargers: Connect backup batteries to your grid. We also offer second-life batteries to reduce costs and support sustainability.
DC Opportunities EV Charger Features
- Charges two EVs at the same time with separate sessions
- Supports ISO 15118-2, ISO 15118-20, and DIN SPEC 70121 protocols
- HDMI display screen
- Remote access
- Bidirectional charging
Smart Microgrid Control
Our DC microgrid uses droop control based on voltage – a smart, decentralized way to manage energy. When the sun is shining, voltage goes up, and the EV Charger knows it’s time to start charging EVs and batteries. When clouds cover the sun, voltage drops, and the system automatically reduces charging power.
Because the chargers are bidirectional, one EV can even charge another vehicle – like a truck with higher priority. This reduces the need for big, expensive backup batteries and large grid connections.
Customized Solutions
Since all of our technology is developed in-house, we can customize the system to fit your specific needs. Feel free to reach out so that we can discuss your project and see if we can deliver a solution for your needs.
