Problem
Many renters, moderate‑income homeowners, and small businesses cannot install traditional rooftop or ground‑mounted solar because of property restrictions, high labor costs, and lengthy permitting processes. This limits their ability to generate renewable electricity for home use, electric‑vehicle (EV) charging, or grid export.
Solution
GismoPower’s MEGA system is a portable, plug‑in solar charging station that combines a high‑power bifacial photovoltaic array with a Class 2 EV charger. The unit mounts on mobile racking with heavy‑duty caster wheels, allowing it to be wheeled onto driveways, parking lots, or into a garage and connected to a standard 240 V, 40 A outlet. Because it operates as a grid‑tied appliance, installation is rapid, requires no permanent wiring or permits, and complies with UL‑1741 safety standards. Generated electricity first powers an EV, then the home, and any excess is fed back to the grid, providing self‑consumption and grid‑support without complex infrastructure. The system is scalable and can be relocated or expanded by adding additional units as needed.
Target Audience
Primary customers are renters, modest‑income homeowners, and small commercial entities (e.g., convenience stores, apartment complexes) that need a low‑cost, quickly deployable solar solution for home power, EV charging, or grid export.
