Pilot Project on solar PV based hybrid charging station for e-bikes

01 Feb 2009 27 Dec 2011
The proposed solar PV based hybrid charging station for e-bikes would consist of installed solar PV array in conjunction with grid and necessary charge controllers for charging the e-bikes. In addition the hybrid system would also have the option to charge buffer batteries for other applications.
The objectives of the project are
(a) Design and development of solar PV based hybrid charging station for e-bikes,
(b) Field testing and customization of the charging station,
(c) Finding roadmap for commercialization of such activity.
To take this initiative ahead, TERI has formed a consortium with ST Micro electronics, Moser Baer and Ultra motors. Two e-bikes for this project will be supplied by Ultra motors and solar PV will be supplied by Moser Baer. TERI will jointly develop electronics with ST Micro electronics and the required electronics will be supplied by them.
