GE Energy Industrial Solutions announced this week that it has reached a partnership agreement to work with Inovateus Solar, a U.S. solar-power distribution and integration company, to build commercial solar carports with electric vehicle chargers. The announcement of the original equipment manufacturer agreement was made at the annual Greenbuild Conference & Expo in Toronto, the world's largest annual trade show dedicated to green building. GE Energy Industrial Solutions collaborated with Inovateus this year to build a 100-kilowatt-hour solar carport, one of the largest structures of its kind in North America, at its Plainville, Conn., facility. The solar carport can generate enough energy to offset the power needed to charge up to 13 electric vehicles per day, using the six installed Level 2 GE DuraStation EV charging stations, as well as all the overhead lighting in the parking lot.

Now, GE is partnering with Inovateus to bring the same turnkey solar carport solution, scalable to a variety of commercial needs, to a multitude of facilities, including universities, municipalities, office buildings and sports complexes. Inovateus, which is headquartered in South Bend, Ind., will include GE EverGold Solar combiner boxes, GE DuraStation and WattStation electric vehicle charging stations and traditional GE electrical distribution panels and switches as part of its solar offerings. Additionally, GE Energy Industrial Solutions continues to expand its offering in the solar category with the recent introduction of a new line of solar safety switches, also known as photovoltaic disconnects.
