Paired Power, a leading provider of microgrid solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, recently completed the installation of two PairTree™ solar EV chargers at the Port of Hueneme. “This collaboration with the Port highlights how solar EV charging technology can reduce emissions and deliver reliable power for electric vehicles in the maritime sector,” said Tom McCalmont, CEO of Paired Power. “By adopting our PairTree chargers, the Port is taking meaningful steps toward energy independence and sustainability, and we are proud to support them in this mission.”
The PairTree chargers will provide clean, off-grid power for the Port’s growing fleet of light-duty electric vehicles, including cars, vans, and work trucks. This move aligns with the Port’s objective of achieving zero emissions. Made in Campbell, California, PairTree chargers are designed for rapid deployment and can be installed without excavation in just one day. Featuring bifacial solar panels that capture both direct and reflected sunlight, the chargers offer high energy efficiency and reliability in various weather conditions. This deployment exemplifies Paired Power’s commitment to resilient, cost-effective energy solutions that support sustainability within the maritime industry, offering a practical alternative to conventional grid-dependent chargers.
Known for its commitment to environmental stewardship, the Port of Hueneme continues to champion clean technology in line with its broader sustainability goals. As a Green Marine-certified port, Hueneme has consistently balanced operational efficiency with ecological responsibility. “We’re thrilled to partner with Paired Power to advance our sustainability objectives,” said Kristin Decas, CEO and Port Director at the Port of Hueneme. “Installing these solar EV chargers enhances our capacity to shift toward clean energy, demonstrating our dedication to reducing emissions and promoting a sustainable future.”
Paired Power’s PairTree chargers represent a notable advancement in solar charging technology. Equipped with battery storage, they deliver Level 2 EV charging day and night, eliminating the need for costly grid upgrades. With a wind resistance rating up to 130 mph, the chargers are designed for durability, making them ideal for coastal locations like the Port of Hueneme. This installation builds on the Port’s ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and support sustainable port operations.
