US clean energy company Sunnoo has deployed its first grid-independent EV charging station—a self-contained, 80 kWh solar-powered unit—outside its Las Cruces, New Mexico manufacturing facility.
Following 4-6 weeks of data collection, the station will be relocated to the Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University, where it will deliver off-grid EV and e-bike charging for students, faculty, and visitors.
Sunnoo’s system requires no permits, trenching, or electrical utility access, enabling installation in minutes.
The system includes a 6.5 kW bifacial solar array that has a patented dual-axis, single-motor tracking turret, which can capture 50-62% more energy than fixed solar arrays. Software-driven positioning adds another 8-12% daily solar gain, according to the company.
The battery capacity is configurable between 24 and 100 kWh. The unit has a base footprint of 16 ft x 8 ft, as well as the 20 ft x 8 ft solar canopy. It is 16 ft high and weighs over 9,000 lbs. Its <9 psi surface load supports versatile site placement. The system delivers Level 2 charging via two NACS connectors, powered by a 60-amp AC circuit. There is an optional 7.5 kW, 240 VAC outlet for charging e-bikes or light EVs.
The unit is engineered for all-season deployment, including in high-wind and remote environments. The modular system can support additional solar turrets, charging connections and different battery sizes for large-scale installations.
Sunnoo is seeking commercialization partners in higher education, municipalities and commercial fleet operations.
“Our mission from day one has been to eliminate the infrastructure hurdles that have slowed EV adoption,” said Martin Gero, Sunnoo’s Founder and Chief Technology Officer. “We engineered a solution that delivers fast, sustainable charging with no permitting delays, no construction headaches and no grid dependency.”
