01
Lift + air compressor load
Mid-day operations align with peak solar production. Most of what you generate is consumed on site.
Solar for Auto Shops
Solar and EV-ready electrical for San Diego auto shops
Auto shops have heavy mid-day demand, growing EV servicing requirements, and rooftops or yard space that often work for solar. We design with all three in mind.
Mid-day
Operations match solar curve
EV-ready
Service-bay electrical planning
Carport
Yard-heavy site options
Service
We stay with the system
Auto-shop fit
A power system that grows with EV service work
EVs are coming into shops faster than most facilities can charge them. Solar and storage paired with the right service-bay electrical is a real long-term advantage.
- 01Solar sized to mid-day operations and lift use
- 02Battery storage for outage protection on critical equipment
- 03EV charging built into the electrical plan, not bolted on later
- 04Carport solar for yard-heavy sites
- 05Demand-charge management for high-amperage equipment
Where the math works
Six auto-shop solar configurations
02
EV servicing infrastructure
EVs are entering service bays. Planned electrical capacity is cheaper than emergency upgrades later.
03
L2 and DCFC for techs
Charging vehicles in for service. We design service-bay EV outlets that fit your panel and your throughput.
04
Solar carport
Yard-heavy auto shops often have more open space than roof. Carport solar doubles as shade and customer parking cover.
05
Demand-charge management
Air compressors and welders create demand spikes. Battery storage smooths them and lowers the demand charge.
06
Critical-load backup
Diagnostic equipment, POS, and lighting stay up through outages. Battery sized to what you cannot lose.
EV servicing is reshaping the shop electrical
01
Charging requirements are growing every year
02
Some EV servicing needs DC-fast capability on-site
03
A panel upgrade plan beats surprise change orders
04
Solar plus storage hedges the rate increases that are coming
