The startup offers marine data as a service using its solar-powered Data Xplorer ocean drones, which eliminate the need for traditional crewed vessels. Thanks to the combination of solar cells and lithium batteries, she says, “our boats can operate and travel nonstop for months, without needing refueling or external recharging.”

With the exponential growth of EVs and their power requirements for charging, it’s inevitable that charge point operators will have to deal with site-level limitations. Owners can also use smart energy management to integrate charging and building infrastructure with onsite battery storage and renewables like solar panels.

A key thing, he said, will be to recharge the batteries at an acceptable time for the electricity grid — to “make sure people aren’t charging at the very peak, peak time,” like late afternoon when the electricity grid is already weighted down by demands like air conditioning. The closest to that source is solar.
