Selecting suitable locations for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations involves a thoughtful evaluation of several factors. It’s essential to target areas with high population density and significant traffic flow, such as busy intersections or commuting routes. Additionally, proximity to key destinations like shopping centers and offices can enhance the accessibility and convenience for EV users. Collaborating with parking facilities and assessing the power supply at potential locations ensures the integration of charging stations into existing infrastructure. Consideration of nearby amenities, compliance with local regulations, and the analysis of user data further contribute to optimal site selection. Moreover, identifying areas undergoing development and engaging with local communities can help create a comprehensive and effective strategy for the placement of EV charging stations.
Smart charging technology enables seamless communication between charging points, EV users, and charging operators. The charging station sends data to a centralized cloud-based management platform via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when an EV is plugged in. This data includes charging time, speed, and information about the local grid’s capacity and energy usage at the charging site. The software behind the platform analyzes this data in real-time, allowing for automated decisions on how and when EVs are charged. This technology also allows charging operators to easily control and regulate energy usage remotely through a single platform, website, or mobile application. Additionally, EV owners can monitor and pay for their charging sessions through a mobile app anywhere and anytime.
Dynamic load balancing is a technique that distributes the electrical load across multiple charging stations based on real-time demand. This helps prevent the electrical grid’s overload and ensures that each charging station receives appropriate power. Dynamic load balancing technology can help distribute the available power among multiple EV chargers in real-time, optimizing available power and reducing the risk of overloading the grid. This can help prevent power outages and reduce the need for costly grid upgrades. Additionally, dynamic load balancing can help reduce charging times and improve the overall charging experience for EV drivers, making it a valuable feature for both residential and commercial charging applications.
Yes, OPENAX has a wide range of DC chargers that conform to high-industry standards. Our exclusive Exceed DC Series Chargers are designed as a one-stop shop solution for fleets.
This depends on several factors, including the type of charger you are using, the rate of charge that your vehicle can accept, and the current state of your vehicle’s battery.
This depends on several factors. Level 2 AC chargers can typically be shipped immediately after receiving an order. The installation process, however, depends on the situation at the site. Installing EV chargers includes a planning stage and a verification stage to make sure that the site has ample electricity available for the planned deployment. For Level 3 DC chargers, lead times vary depending on the charger and on whether additional infrastructure is necessary to perform the installation.
AC charging, sometimes referred to as level 2 charging, is typically found in residential establishments, hotels, and other places where cars will be parked for at least a few hours. DC charging, also referred to as level 3 charging, provides a much faster way to charge up EVs. The chargers are usually distinguished by the amount of kW they can deliver to electric vehicles per hour because they have built-in power converters rather than relying on the vehicle’s AC/DC rectifier. DC level 3 chargers can fully charge up electric vehicles in under an hour and are used at roadside charging locations, in fleets, and at other strategic locations.

General information about Agrivoltaism

It's a method of coupling agricultural production with energy production. It's a unique way of creating beneficial synergies between agricultural activity and solar energy, on the same surface. Since March 2023, it has been governed by law (art. L. 314-36 of the Energy Code), which stipulates that it must provide at least one of its services to the plot:
  • Improving agronomic potential and impact ;
  • Adaptation to climate change;
  • Protection against hazards;
  • Improved animal welfare.
An implementing decree, currently being finalized, will specify certain criteria, such as the maximum coverage rate of panels in relation to the surface area of the plot, and the limit on the surface area that cannot be farmed as a result of the installation.
Agrivoltaics serves agricultural production. It's a production method that combines agricultural production with energy production. It's a unique way of creating beneficial synergies between agricultural activity and solar energy, on the same surface. Since March 2023, it has been governed by a law (art. L. 314-36 of the Energy Code), whose implementing decree is currently being finalized (scheduled for the first quarter of 2024). This decree aims to prevent abuses and ensure that :
  • Agricultural production remains the mainstay of production.
  • Agricultural production is maintained,
  • Agrivoltaic technology does indeed provide a service to agricultural production,
Each project is tailored to the farmer's crops and equipment. The dimensions of the farm machinery are taken into account to define the height and spacing of the solar panels.
Water availability, insofar as it is influenced by the agrivoltaic system, is adapted to the growth requirements of the crop in question. We ensure that rainwater is distributed evenly to the crops below the agrivoltaic system. This process can be optimized with additional technical equipment.
The development required for an agrivoltaic project is the same as for a conventional solar project. It takes around 5 years from the signing of the Land Agreements (between the landowner and the energy company) to the commissioning of the park. This time frame includes environmental impact studies for the four seasons (1 year), the preliminary agricultural study, the time required for governmental approval (1 year) and the time required for connection (2 to 3 years).
The dismantling of the farm, the restoration of the land to its original state (certified by a bailiff) and the recycling of the farm's components are legal obligations. This work and the costs involved are the responsibility of the project owner. The piles, driven into the ground, are removed.
Agrivoltaics is not a new technology, but a new application of an existing, proven technology. The return, risk and administrative costs of agrivoltaic system are comparable to those of an investment for a ground-mounted photovoltaic systems.
Like the ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, the agrivoltaic systems have a lifespan of 30 to 50 years.
Agrivoltaic installations, both the photovoltaic modules and the structures, do not reflect light. The risk of glare for local residents is extremely low. What's more, the systems don't emit any noise and can be installed very quickly (just a few weeks). Landscaping is designed to limit the visual impact on direct neighbours (planting of hedges, etc.). Taxes relating to the installation of a solar park generate public funds for the commune, the community of communes and the département.
The Plurinannuel de l'Energie (Multiannual Energy Plan), which aims to move away from fossil fuels by 2050 (which currently account for over 50% of our energy consumption), has set a milestone target of 100 GWp of solar power installed in France by 2035 (compared with 18 GWp in the first half of 2023). With the potential for PV on roofs and parking lot shades estimated at between 23 and 53 GWp, it is imperative to expand the potential for agricultural land. With agrivoltaic technologies enabling the installation of between 0.3 and 1 MWp per hectare, between 29 and 200,000 hectares of agricultural land will need to be equipped to meet our energy targets (i.e. less than 1% of French agricultural land). Agrivoltaics is 140 times more efficient than biofuel and 44 times more efficient than methanization in terms of surface area used. Since 2014, almost 2,800 agrivoltaic systems have been installed worldwide, representing a total capacity of around 2.9 GWp. Most of these systems have been installed in Asian countries such as Japan, China and South Korea. A few have also been installed in the USA and Europe.
Agrivoltaics is currently more expensive than ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, as it is designed to promote and optimize agricultural production, sometimes to the detriment of photovoltaic production. In fact, the structures are raised to adapt to the height of crops, animals or machinery. Some panels are less powerful, to let in more light for the plants. Nevertheless, costs will continue to fall as technology evolves.
