The 15 charging stations for electric vehicles on Western Michigan University’s campus recently caught the eye of the magazine Earth Techling.
The story says this is nifty: Whereas Web-based power displays are common for solar installations, we’ve never seen a Web-based EV charging station consumption display – until now.
Check it out. You can see that in May, the array produced 5,246 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, of which 1,139 kWh went directly to power vehicles. For the year, as of yesterday afternoon the array had produced 22.4 megawatt-hours (MWh) of power, with just under quarter of that electricity – 5.25 MWh – used by the EV chargers. Don’t worry about the power that doesn’t feed the chargers; the system is grid-tied, so it doesn’t go to waste.
