BrightGrid
Commercial EV infrastructure
Charge your vehicles with energy you generate.
EV charging doesn't have to sit separately from your energy strategy. Combine solar, battery storage and intelligent charging to create a commercial energy system built around your vehicles, buildings and future demand.
EV + energy
EV charging is becoming part of the building's energy system.
Adding EV chargers can significantly increase electricity demand at a commercial site. That makes the relationship between charging, solar generation, battery storage and the grid increasingly important.
Instead of treating the charger as an isolated piece of equipment, BrightGrid can design the wider energy system around it.
The result is an infrastructure strategy that can support today's vehicles while preparing the site for more electric transport in the future.
Designed around demand
More chargers. Smarter energy.
Your charging infrastructure should work with the building, not compete with it.
Solar-powered mobility
Generate electricity on your roof. Use it in your vehicles.
Commercial buildings often have two valuable assets: large roof areas and vehicles sitting on the site for hours at a time.
Solar can generate electricity during the day while vehicles are parked and charging. Instead of importing all of that electricity from the grid, your site can use its own generation where practical.
One connected system
Solar. Battery. EVs. Building. Grid.
The value comes from understanding how all of these elements interact.
Solar
Generate electricity on site.
Battery
Store surplus energy.
Charging
Power electric vehicles.
Building
Serve everyday demand.
Grid
Import or export when required.
Commercial EV solutions
Charging infrastructure for the way your business operates.
From a small workplace installation to a large electric fleet, we can design the infrastructure around your operational requirements.
Workplace charging
Give employees and visitors convenient charging while integrating electricity demand with the wider energy strategy of the building.
Fleet charging
Build charging infrastructure around fleet size, vehicle schedules, dwell times and operational requirements.
Commercial & retail
Turn car parks into useful energy infrastructure with customer charging, solar canopies and intelligent load management.
Solar-powered charging
Generate electricity on site and use your solar generation to support EV charging and reduce imported electricity.
Battery-supported charging
Use battery storage to manage demand, store surplus generation and help reduce the impact of high-power charging.
Smart energy management
Coordinate solar, batteries, chargers, building demand and grid electricity as one connected system.
Fleet electrification
Your fleet is changing. Your energy infrastructure should be ready.
Electrifying a fleet can introduce a significant new electricity requirement. The right infrastructure needs to consider vehicles, charging windows, electrical capacity, solar generation and storage together.
Why integrate EV + solar?
Build infrastructure that works harder.
The objective isn't simply to install chargers. It is to create an energy system that supports your business today and gives you options as electricity demand changes.
Smart charging
Charge when the energy makes sense.
Charging doesn't necessarily need to happen at maximum power all the time. A smarter strategy can consider site demand, solar generation, battery availability and charging requirements.
Where we work
EV infrastructure for different commercial environments.
Workplaces
Employee and visitor charging designed around working hours and building electricity demand.
ExploreFleet & logistics
Charging infrastructure designed around vehicle movements, operating windows and fleet electrification.
ExploreIndustrial
Combine large electrical loads with solar generation, storage and EV infrastructure.
ExploreSchools & trusts
EV charging integrated into wider estate decarbonisation and energy programmes.
ExploreFarms
Solar, storage and EV infrastructure designed around agricultural operations and future electrification.
ExploreRetail & car parks
Create charging destinations while making better use of available parking and roof space.
ExploreFuture-ready infrastructure
Don't design today's charger for tomorrow's fleet.
Your EV requirements may grow. More employees may switch to electric vehicles. Your fleet may expand. New vehicles may require faster charging.
We can help you think beyond the first installation and create an infrastructure strategy that leaves room for expansion.
Plan demand
Understand how electricity demand could change.
Create flexibility
Consider storage and smart charging options.
From assessment to operation
A structured approach to commercial EV infrastructure.
We bring the vehicle, electrical, solar, storage and commercial requirements together before developing the solution.
Start an assessmentUnderstand your vehicles
We look at vehicle numbers, charging requirements, routes, dwell times and when your vehicles are actually on site.
Understand the site
We assess available parking, electrical capacity, solar potential, building demand and potential charging locations.
Model the energy system
Solar, EV charging, batteries, import and export are considered together rather than designing each system independently.
Design the infrastructure
We develop the preferred charging configuration, electrical design and wider energy architecture.
Install & commission
The installation, commissioning and integration of the charging and energy infrastructure are coordinated through delivery.
Designed around your site
EV charging shouldn't be a black box.
We consider the available electrical capacity, charging demand, vehicle requirements, solar generation, storage potential and future expansion before recommending an infrastructure strategy.
