Helios: Solar Charging Station for Personal Mobility Vehicles

free account

Recording of Wednesday, June 14, 2023 | The smarter E Europe Exhibition Program 2023 | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 7:48 .

Helios is a charging station for e-bikes, e-scooters and other light electric vehicles. The charging stations are supplied with energy via solar modules that are embedded in the ground near the station, which means that Helios does not depend on a grid connection and can be placed anywhere. An integrated battery stores the solar energy. Depending on the charging station’s configuration, between six and 16 light vehicles can be supplied with electricity. An app-controlled security system protects the vehicles from theft during the charging process.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
