Paired Power, a U.S.-based developer of solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging systems, has received a patent for its PairTree™ solar canopy, designed to enable rapid, cost-efficient deployment of EV chargers, particularly in locations with limited or no grid access.
The patent, U.S. No. 12,375,024, marks the company’s fourth since 2016 and highlights its focus on sustainable EV infrastructure.
The PairTree™ system features a patented lift mechanism that allows solar panels to be assembled at ground level before being raised into position, reducing installation complexity and time.
The modular canopy integrates a 4.6 kW solar array with a 42.4 kWh battery energy storage system, enabling off-grid Level 2 EV charging and minimizing reliance on utility grids.
Its design also preserves parking spaces and avoids major construction, offering flexible deployment in urban, remote, or utility-constrained areas.
“Securing this patent for PairTree is a monumental achievement for Paired Power,” said Tom McCalmont, CEO. “It embodies our commitment to making sustainable energy solutions more accessible, efficient, and deployable for everyone, everywhere.”
The company also offers PairFleet™, a larger microgrid solution for higher-capacity EV charging, reflecting Paired Power’s mission to expand access to scalable, sustainable charging infrastructure.
