Mobility in the City of Short Distances

Solar Stations Solar Stations benefit both individuals and entire communities. They act as top-up stations, and are strategically placed within the local neighbourhood. Users must become members, allowing for a credit system to develop for energy contribution and consumption. To become a premium member, you pay an annual maintenance fee. As you contribute energy to the grid from your solar panels at home, you can collect credits accordingly that can be used when filling up at the Solar Stations. If you do not have solar panels at home, you can become a partial member, paying a higher annual fee to have access to the Solar stations.

Membership is required to use the Solar Stations, to ensure a fair-play policy.

Solar Stations are for quick power-ups, not complete refills.

A Solar Neighbourhood

To top-up at a Solar Station, an individual swipes their membership card, and plugs into one of the four sockets at a station. As it is a quick charge hub, just a few minutes is all it takes before you are on the road again.

Solar Stations operate on a give and take basis, you can also benefit by contributing to the solar energy reserves.
