Charging associated with self-consumption systems

Generate your own renewable energy by installing photovoltaic canopies and using their structure to integrate your electric vehicle charging system.

One of the most comprehensive energy consumption solutions on the market is the installation of photovoltaic panels, taking advantage of the structure of solar canopies to supply part of the energy needs of a facility, while increasing the satisfaction of both the customers and workers at the facility.

By taking advantage of the space available in the car park, it is possible to install photovoltaic canopies to prevent weather effects in parked vehicles, as well as use the canopies' own structure to generate solar photovoltaic energy during the day in order to supply part of the electricity demand of an installation, reducing the electricity drawn from the grid, and thus the monthly invoice.

This type of canopy allows the complete or partial integration of electric vehicle charging systems, optimizing their use since they can charge parked electric vehicles while simultaneously generating renewable energy.

Circutor's solar canopies allow multiple charging points and all their components to be integrated into the structure, making them easy to set up in any location and to take advantage of the surface area to install external charging points.

Canopies with built-in charging

Leverage the structure of your canopy to include electric vehicle recharging

Save on your electricity bill by generating clean energy and making the most of your car park. The electric vehicle charging point is fully integrated into the canopy structure, taking advantage of all the available space by incorporating all the protective and power equipment inside the base of the structure, without having to set aside an external location.

Self-consumption and electric vehicle recharging

Set up your car park to generate your own renewable energy

Generate your own energy during daylight hours to supply part of your installation's electricity demand while increasing the satisfaction of all your customers and employees. Take advantage of your parking space to install as many charging posts as you need.

Contracted power

Avoid having to increase the contracted power of your installation

Circutor's DLM system can be used to share the charging power available based on how many vehicles are charging simultaneously. The system collects information on how many vehicles are charging, how much power each charging point requires and automatically configures each one to reduce the total power if the sum of the requested power exceeds the contracted power.

Electric mobility

Electric mobility to supplement your self-consumption system

Give added value to your car park by installing outdoor charging posts that make it possible to charge any electric vehicle parked in your facility, offering the best service to both customers and workers.

Leverage the structure of your canopy to include electric vehicle recharging

Using the structure of the canopy itself makes it possible to increase the efficiency of any installation by integrating a system for charging electric vehicles.
As a result, you can take advantage of the solar canopy to generate renewable energy while charging any electric vehicle, whether part of a fleet, in the case of town councils or private companies, or a private vehicle.

Connectivity is another relevant aspect to consider, since high user volume makes it essential to prevent potential fraud. To achieve this, the Circutor solution offers devices that connect via RFID or Bluetooth to let users recharge their vehicles, locking the hose while it is charging to keep third parties from disconnecting it, and unlocking it once the owner returns to the car park, thus avoiding any kind of fraud among users. The units with Ethernet communications can send information on the status of each charging point, making it possible to monitor the status of each charger via the control software and to interact with the system remotely.

The URBAN master/slave models save costs in any installation, as they are based on a master with integrated Ethernet or 4G communications. This avoids having to implement communications on each slave device, cutting costs and improving the operation with the charging point management software using the OCPP protocol.

Circutor offers two types of systems for charging electric vehicles associated with solar photovoltaic canopies. One is the PVS-R model, which integrates the charging box directly into the base of the canopy; and the other is the PVS model, which allows the installation of outdoor Urban charging posts, offering a dual plug with 22 kW each simultaneously (44 kW instantaneous), with built-in communications, giving the user the freedom to choose the installation site, since it is not integrated into the primary structure of the canopy.

Discover our innovative canopies to lower electricity consumption from the grid while charging any electric vehicle, improving the energy efficiency of your installation and reducing atmospheric CO2 emissions.

CIRCUTOR has a wide range of ultra-fast, on-street stations for charging any electric vehicle, delivering up to 150 kW of power via CHAdeMO or CCS Combo 2 connectors, greatly reducing user wait time. Our devices also allow for AC charging with power of up to 43 kW via type-2 connectors, adaptable to any vehicle. CIRCUTOR has a wide range of electric vehicle charging posts that can be installed outdoors, and feature anti-vandalism protection, RFID access and built-in 4G communications with the OCPP protocol for charging vehicles using alternating current.

COMPLEMENTARY MOBILITY SOLUTIONS

Urban

The Urban models are designed to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions and possible acts of vandalism, while simplifying the installation and maintenance processes for operators. Their aluminium metal body contains all the electrical protections needed to function safely. Available with communications for monitoring, remote control and integration into platforms to invoice the individual consumption of each owner.

Urban Master/Slave

The URBAN MASTER-SLAVE devices have been designed to minimise the initial investment and maintenance costs when several chargers are required. This solution combines a Master charger that features integrated communications to control and send consumption information from all the Urban Slaves.

Point-Of-Sale (POS) Terminal

Offer credit card payments to all your customers by using a POS terminal built directly into your Urban WB Master.

Optimise the contracted power

DLM System: How can I avoid having to increase my contracted power?

In large car parks, it is unfeasible to increase the contracted power to guarantee every parking space has the full charging capacity available. To ensure every user can charge their vehicle and avoid increasing your contracted power, and with it your monthly electricity bill, you have to install a DLM (Dynamic Load Management) system.

DLM systems feature software that monitors in real time the status of the installation, displaying the vehicles that are charging, the spaces available, and any fault involving a charger. This system can be used to share the charging power available based on how many vehicles are charging simultaneously.

The DLM collects information on how many vehicles are charging, how much power each charging point requires and automatically configures each one to reduce the total power if the sum of the requested power exceeds the contracted power. The system thus reduces the power of those vehicles whose battery is close to being fully charged, allowing more power to be delivered to those that have just parked, until the maximum contracted power is reached. If the maximum number of connected vehicles is exceeded, the system will put new users on stand-by until a slot becomes available.
