Servotech Power Systems, a leading manufacturer of EV chargers and solar solutions, in collaboration with National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI), has inaugurated grid-connected solar-powered EV charging carport in Delhi as the city's first.
This solar-powered EV charging carport, established as a pilot project at the Hauz Khas Village parking station, marks a significant milestone in sustainable energy and electric vehicle infrastructure. Servotech has manufactured, designed, and commissioned the solar panels and EV chargers which are used to establish the carport. Additionally, it is responsible for implementing the overall infrastructure for the carport.
This PV carport introduces a new business model for distribution companies (DISCOMs) and business operators aiming to replace last-mile delivery vehicles with an electric fleet. The system enables fast charging for two and four-wheelers in under an hour, thus facilitating efficient delivery services in inner-city and confined spaces.
Dr. Philipp Ackermann, German Ambassador to India and Bhutan, was the chief guest at the event, inaugurating the solar-powered EV charging station in the presence of Founder and MD, Servotech Power Systems, Raman Bhatia and key officials. This initiative is a collaboration between NSEFI, Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V (BSW), in cooperation with BSES and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The solar-powered EV charging carport was established under the KVP project framework.
The KVP project is supported by the German non-profit company Sequa GmbH, as part of the Business Membership Organization Partnerships of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
