Skyhook's Journey to Ignite Change at Aspen Ideas: Climate

Skyhook Solar Goes Cross-Country: Join Us at the Aspen Ideas: Climate Festival

The journey toward sustainable energy is a collective effort, filled with innovation, collaboration, and the pursuit of greener alternatives. At Skyhook Solar, we're committed to playing our part in this global endeavor by building practical, transportable, and renewable energy technology including solar-powered generators, electric mobility charging infrastructure, and battery store-and-charge systems that improve access to sustainable modes of transportation. This March, our journey takes us across the country to a vibrant city known for its sunshine and spirit of innovation - Miami, Florida. We're thrilled to announce our participation in the Aspen Ideas: Climate Festival, a gathering of minds and movers in the climate action sphere where we’ll be showcasing new and improved technologies including our solar generators and personal e-mobility charging stations.

Our Showcase: Solar Generators and Infrastructure for a Greener Tomorrow

In the heart of the Miami Beach Convention Center, from March 11-13, Skyhook Solar will debut our lineup of solar generators, including the versatile EV Charging D6 Solar Station, Global-Resilience K2 Solar Station, and the innovative PWRDOCK public e-bike charger. Each of these solutions embodies our commitment to enhancing access to renewable energy, designed with the needs of diverse communities and environments in mind.

The EV Charging D6 Solar Station is our answer to the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure. This solar generator is intelligent, offering remote monitoring and management and deploys in an hour fully assembled. Designed for cities, universities, and communities, we provide a sustainable, transportable charging option that can provide an EV up to 13,000 miles entirely on the sun. 

The Global-Resilience K2 Solar Station (left) has been crafted with the challenges of remote and vulnerable communities in mind, providing a reliable power source in areas most affected by climate change.  The K2 is powering a PWRDOCK (right) which offers universal public e-mobility charging with the intent to improve the access to and convenience of personal e-micromobility and simultaneously lower the risk of indoor lithium battery charging. The unit is soon to be deployed at a public university in Colorado – stay tuned for more updates!

Skyhook Celebrates Acceptance into Rural Jump Start Program and Establishes HQ in Grand Junction

As seen in press: https://www.gjep.org/press-releases/skyhook-solar-grand-junction-jump-start/

Grand Junction, Colorado (November 1, 2023) —

The Grand Junction Economic Partnership is pleased to announce that Skyhook Solar, a manufacturer of transportable, industrial-grade solar generators has selected Grand Junction as its new home and was accepted into the Rural Jump Start Program.

The company was founded in 2019 with a core mission to fight climate change by accelerating the global transition to clean energy. The Solar Station is Skyhook’s core technology and means of achieving this goal – a transportable, industrial-grade solar generator that can provide power to EVs, micromobility, internet access, lighting, and emergency services in public spaces. By providing immediate access to clean power infrastructure, the technology can help cities, communities, and individuals transition to new electrified transportation modes and improve energy resilience. Since its launch, Skyhook has deployed Solar Stations in 10 cities in the USA, Canada, and Europe.

Skyhook Solar’s President and CEO, Daniel Delano, spearheaded extensive research and development efforts over the past two years in Carbondale, CO where they have discontinued operations to take possession of their new facility that will be located at 740 Scarlet Street in Grand Junction. The company plans to commence commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2023, establishing Grand Junction as its new headquarters.

“Skyhook is entering a critical phase of our company’s growth, and we are thrilled to announce our move to Grand Junction, Colorado—an ideal location for access to specialized resources, manufacturing, and logistics. The Rural Jump Start program will provide support and an incredible opportunity to partner with the local community and discover new talent from Colorado Mesa University,” says Delano.

During their research and development phase, Skyhook Solar deployed 25 prototypes in public-facing pilot programs in the United States and Canada. Additionally, they have placed five pilot units in Europe, positioning Skyhook Solar as an ideal candidate for future advanced industries exporting grants offered by the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT).

Skyhook Solar is anticipated to create 38 new primary jobs within the first four years of operation in Grand Junction. The company’s approval into the Rural Jump Start Program marks a significant milestone, making Skyhook Solar the 28th business to join the program in Mesa County with the support of the Grand Junction Economic Partnership since its inception in 2016.

The Rural Jump Start Program, an initiative designed to foster economic development and create new job opportunities in rural communities, provides eligible companies with lucrative tax incentives, cash grants, and workforce development opportunities. Through the program, Skyhook Solar will now be eligible to receive cash grant funding up to $20,000 to help offset startup costs for its new business and up to $2,500 per new hire.

Additionally, Colorado Mesa University will play an integral role in the Rural Jump Start Program by acting as the local institute of higher education and providing Skyhook Solar with access to its talent pipeline for new hires and internships. CMU’s support extends to applied research opportunities through several academic programs ranging from mechanical engineering to computer science.
