Paired Power, a leading manufacturer of solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging systems, was awarded a patent for its PairTree solar canopy solution. The patent, titled “Solar canopy systems and methods,” formally recognizes Paired Power’s proprietary approach to solar canopy installation, which deploys electric vehicle charging in situations with limited or no grid power. This marks the company’s fourth patent since 2016.
The newly patented technology covers a method for raising solar panels above a foundation using an integrated lift mechanism.

Additionally, PairTree doesn’t require trenching or major construction and preserves existing parking spaces and can entirely eliminate reliance on the grid during installation.
