SCU's first 100% solar-powered EV chargers generate clean, renewable energy to power our maintenance fleet with zero reliance on the grid.

Santa Clara University recently installed our first 100% solar-powered EV chargers. These cutting-edge chargers generate clean, renewable energy to power our maintenance fleet with zero reliance on the grid. 

"This installation is an important facet of our climate action work," said Sean Collins, Santa Clara University's assistant vice president for University Operations. "By integrating Paired Power's solar EV chargers into our operations, we're not only generating renewable energy to charge our fleet, we are also modeling for our students how an organization can take responsibility for reducing carbon pollution."

"We are so grateful to SCU alumni Greenie and Donald Van Buren, who are big advocates tor SCU and climate action," said Lindsey Kalkbrenner, SCU's sustainability director. The Van Burens brought SCU's attention to this technology and have generously given their time, leadership, and transformative gifts to launch this project. "Working with alumni and local businesses to accelerate our progress on sustainability solutions is a beautiful way to directly enact SCU's Impact 2030 strategic plan through our foundational commitment to position Santa Clara University as a climate-positive university," Kalkbrenner added.
