Envi­sion (EVSI) is the first to invent and build solar park­ing struc­tures Con­trary to what you may think, solar units don’t require rooftops and cornfields—not any­more. Envision’s man­age­ment team saw other ways to har­ness the power of the sun. That’s when their vision of solar park­ing lotswas born.

They are tak­ing the bil­lions upon bil­lions of acres of unused park­ing spaces and incor­po­rat­ing solar struc­tures that would be used to har­ness energy. That energy would charge hybrid or elec­tric cars and off­set energy costs for com­pa­nies using grid-connected solar systems.

Within a com­pany park­ing lot Envi­sion installs a “SolarGrove” which is made up of an array of “SolarTrees.” Not only do the “SolarTrees” pro­vide shade, they’re equipped with charg­ing sta­tions for plug-in elec­tric and hybrid vehicles.

At the same time, those solar trees off­set some of the company’s energy usage through grid-connected solar sys­tems. Once they had the SolarGrove and SolarTree tech­nol­ogy in place, Envi­sion saw a way to cap­i­tal­ize even fur­ther on their inno­v­a­tive concept.

Envi­sion has taken these solar park­ing struc­tures and launched the first Clean Charge Solar Charg­ing Sys­tems to the QSR market—Quick Ser­vice Restaurants—better known as fast food. There are about 85,000 fast food restau­rants in the U.S. leav­ing the door wide open for boom­ing sales and rev­enue. Cus­tomers can charge their plug-in or elec­tric hybrid vehi­cle while they eat—while the restau­rant off­sets some of its energy usage. It’s a win-win.

Clearly, Dell thinks this is a good idea Tech­nol­ogy giant Dell has bought in on EVSI’s inno­va­tion. Dell is the very com­pany Newsweek named 2nd on their envi­ron­men­tal rank­ing of America’s 500 largest cor­po­ra­tions. The tech­nol­ogy giant has already installed Envision’s Solar Grove in the park­ing lot at their Texas head­quar­ters. That includes two of Envi­sion Solar’s Clean Charge sys­tems that total 100.62 kilowatts.

All of these big name com­pa­nies are using Envision’s solar applications.

For a young clean energy com­pany to have Dell, McDon­alds, Kyocera and John­son & John­son as clients, you know EVSI is onto some­thing substantial.

Across the coun­try Envi­sion has installed solar sys­tems for schools, hos­pi­tals, cor­po­ra­tions and pub­lic agen­cies. In addi­tion to the solar park­ing arrays and charg­ing sys­tems for cars, Envi­sion also designs and builds solar infra­struc­ture and build­ing sys­tems that include mod­u­lar, light gauge steel-based sys­tems with inte­grated bat­tery stor­age capac­ity for res­i­den­tial, light-commercial and devel­op­ing nation applications.

Here’s a quick look at just a few of EVSI’s addi­tional res­i­den­tial LifeSys­tems solar innovations:

LifePod—doubles as a back­yard office or guest room. With 8 solar pan­els on the roof a Life­Pod can reduce elec­tric­ity usage up to 30% in the aver­age household.

LifePort—a PV solar car­port for both grid-tied and off-grid applications.

LifeBarn—ideal for horse farms or ranches, it’s sized like a stan­dard barn and includes room for feed, tack and stalls.

LifeVillage—a group­ing of Life­Ports that become self-contained, decen­tral­ized power plants and power grids, includ­ing highly engi­neered facil­i­ties with lim­it­less uses. LifeVil­lages are ideal for schools, clin­ics and med­ical facil­i­ties in devel­op­ing nations where energy is unaf­ford­able. They pro­vide shel­ter, clean energy and puri­fied water.

To date, Envi­sion Solar has designed 9 megawatts of solar projects, installed 1.4 megawatts of solar

sys­tems and has approx­i­mately 70 megawatts of solar projects in their pipeline. Projects have been designed and installed from Cal­i­for­nia to Texas, Penn­syl­va­nia and New Jersey.
