Summer's heating up - and so is charging demand. Whether it's a weekend trip to one of the many Swiss lakes or on your way to Gotthard, drivers want fast, reliable charging on the go.

Tips for Sustainable Operation with Solar Panels

No rush, just smooth charging – that's possible with Swisscharge.

This article is part 3 of a three-part series on "Summer, Sun, Electricity – E-Mobility in Vacation Time".

Summer Heat = Stress Test for Charging Infrastructure

Many charging stops and high temperatures – it's not just you who starts sweating. Your hardware is also under extra pressure.

Here's what you should pay attention to:

Tech Check – Check the temperature around the charging station. Heat can affect the electronics. A protective roof or good ventilation can help here.
Site Maintenance – Free access, clearly visible signage, and if possible some shade support your technology and drivers. That way, your location becomes a summer hotspot.
Accessibility – Drivers come from everywhere. Make using your charging station as easy as possible.

🔧 Technically Fit for Summer?

Swisscharge takes over monitoring and maintenance on request, ensuring your charging points function reliably even under high load.

E-Charging: Sustainable with Solar Power

It's 36°, the sun is blazing from the sky – the perfect conditions for charging and producing electricity. Now is the right time for those who have already started using solar panels and those planning to.

Why It's Worth It:

Power Your Charging Stations with Solar Energy – Save on electricity costs by channeling your produced electricity into your charging infrastructure.
Benefit from Subsidies – Unlike charging stations, solar panels are already subsidized in many regions.
Visibly Commit to a Greener Future – Solar panels are more than just functional, they're a visible commitment.

Together with solarmotion, we offer end-to-end sustainable solutions from compact rooftops to fully integrated solar-powered charging hubs.
