solarmotion: How to charge your fleet with your own solar system

Learn in this article how you can reduce the costs for your e-fleet with a solar system – a plus for the budget and the environment. Together with solarmotion, we offer you exciting and sustainable complete solutions.

How does charging an e-fleet with solar power work?

Let's take our headquarters in Gossau, SG as an example. If we were to equip the entire roof with solar panels, we could generate up to 19,000 kWh of electricity annually in the future. This is enough to cover the energy needs of 7 electric cars, which on average travel 13,000 km per year and consume 20 kWh per 100 km. Use the BFE Calculator to quickly and easily find out how much electricity your roof can produce.

Connecting solar systems and charging stations – simple functionality

An intelligent charging system connects the solar system with the charging stations. This controls and optimizes the use of solar power: the entire solar production can primarily be used for charging the fleet, reducing grid dependency and saving electricity costs. Alternatively, the electricity can first be made available for other purposes and only used for charging when there is a surplus. This is individually adjustable.

Easy charging for the fleet team

Park and charge at the office: For your fleet team, the charging experience remains convenient. On the go, all electric vehicles can use the Swisscharge charging network – the largest charging network in Switzerland. The Swisscharge Fleetcard and App enables transparent billing and gives you insight into all charging processes.

Clean energy from your own roof with solarmotion

With a photovoltaic system, companies make an important contribution to environmental protection and reduce the CO2 emissions of their electric fleet – which is increasingly important to customers. Unlike electric vehicles, solar systems are also subsidized with Subsidies .

Whether renewable energy in residential, commercial, or industrial sectors, solarmotion offers everything from a single source as an experienced partner, from planning to roof renovation to system installation. For five years, solarmotion has relied on an electrically operated passenger car fleet. Not only have operating and service costs been reduced since then, but also emissions during the team's daily field operations – namely to 0.

solarmotion, like Swisscharge, is rooted in the canton of St. Gallen and brings comprehensive know-how and experience with over 30 employees at four locations. Together with Swisscharge, solarmotion offers you complete solutions for your fleet. From planning to execution and beyond – competent partners that complement each other perfectly.

All benefits at a glance

1 - Affordable charging

Solar power from your own building reduces electricity costs when charging.

2 - Independence

Self-generated solar power is available at all times – protecting against supply shortages and price fluctuations.

3 - High self-consumption rate

In combination with an e-fleet, the PV system is more economical and pays off faster.

4 - Lower CO2 emissions

Charging stations powered by solar energy have a lower environmental impact and thus contribute to internal and external sustainability goals.

5 - Visible sustainability

A PV system, especially together with an e-fleet, sends a strong signal for sustainability – which is increasingly important to customers.
