PERFORMANCE DATA
Improving Sustainability Through Data-Driven Insights
CHARGING PERFORMANCE
The Solar Umbrella delivers exceptional charging performance. Current pilot testing efforts at the University of California, Berkeley have yielded a 100% reliability rate when charging either cell phones or laptops. Charging rates were on par with conventional methods (e.g. wall outlets).
COST SAVINGS
The integration of solar umbrellas in a microgrid results in even greater cost savings. Additional energy can be used to charge small appliances including microwaves and coffee machines. A projected payback period of 5 years is significantly less than the PV industry average of 10+ years.
EMISSIONS REDUCTION
Switching to solar doesn't just save you money but also benefits the environment. Just one solar umbrella operated throughout the year can result in almost a 1000 pound reduction of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to 1,000 miles driven by an average passenger vehicle.
