California American Water Partners with Paired Power to Provide Microgrid Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles

Today, California American Water announced its partnership with Paired Power, a leading U.S. manufacturer of solar microgrids, to provide resilient renewable energy to power the company’s electric vehicles in San Diego County without relying on the grid.

The company recently installed Paired Power’s PairTree, a U.S.-made solar canopy that combines solar power with available grid power and battery storage to charge electric vehicles day and night. As a fully resilient source of electricity, PairTree can also provide backup power during grid outages, helping to reduce reliance on the grid.
