A solar charger for scooters works by harnessing the energy produced by the sun to charge the battery of an electric scooter. This charging process is simple and practical: it begins when the solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. The current and voltage are regulated by the charge controller before being sent to the scooter’s battery. Once the battery is charged, the scooter can be used until the energy is depleted.
How Does a Solar Charger Work?
As mentioned earlier, the operation of a solar charger is straightforward: the energy produced by the sun’s rays generates electricity that can later be used to charge electric vehicles like scooters. This solution has been effectively developed by Solum through their charging stations.
Now, you may be wondering: What is a charging station? Solum has developed an innovative technology called Helios.
Helios is a solar station designed for parking and recharging personal mobility vehicles (PMVs). Helios is a sustainable solution as it utilizes solar flooring, which generates its own energy. To fully understand this, let’s first look at Arena Solar Flooring and then explore how Helios works.
Arena Solar Flooring
Arena Solar Flooring is a tile capable of generating solar energy. It is composed of high-performance photovoltaic cells that function similarly to a solar module. This solar flooring has been designed to be walkable, provides anti-slip properties, and features regenerative capabilities for damage it may sustain.
Here are some of the main characteristics of this solar flooring:
Modular
The solar flooring is modular, meaning it can adapt to various types of spaces.
Portable
In addition to being adaptable to different spaces, it is designed for quick installation and removal. The flooring is anchored to urban ground without requiring public works, preserving the original pavement.
Durability
Arena Solar Flooring is significantly more resistant than concrete. It can withstand heavy loads, impacts, and even wear over time. In case of damage, it can be repaired or replaced immediately with another tile.
Low Maintenance
It doesn’t require special maintenance—only the care typically given to any other outdoor pavement.
After exploring the Arena Solar Flooring, let’s now take a look at the Helios Solar Station, which serves as a sustainable solution for charging electric scooters, thanks to Arena.
Solar Station Helios: A Solar Charger Solution
Helios is a solar station that serves both as parking and charging for personal mobility vehicles such as electric scooters and bicycles. Helios is a sustainable solution, thanks to Arena Solar Flooring, which generates its own energy.
This solar station provides a practical solution for those who commute around the city using personal mobility vehicles and often face challenges with parking and charging. Below are some of its main features:
- Autonomous: Helios doesn’t need to be connected to the electrical grid, as it uses Arena Solar Flooring and internal batteries.
- Sustainable: It generates its own energy through Arena Solar Flooring.
- Secure: It is equipped with a smart anti-theft lock, offering users greater security. One of the main concerns when parking scooters or electric bicycles in the city is theft. However, the Helios Solar Station provides the security you need.
- Easy Installation: It can be installed in just one workday, as it acts like a mat over any outdoor surface.
- Multi-Vehicle: The station is compatible with both scooters and electric bicycles.
- Smart: With the miSolum App, users can monitor and control all the station’s functionalities.
In conclusion, Solum has made it possible to find charging stations for electric bicycles and scooters throughout various points in the city, with international expansion across Europe.
