SOLAR STATION BASICS | MICROMOBILITY

  • How big is a Solar Station?
    The Skyhook D4 is 9ft tall, with a 14ft x 7ft canopy and 6ft x 3 ft footprint. Weight is 3500 lbs. The Skyhook D6 is 9ft tall, with a 21ft x 7ft canopy and 6.5ft x 3 ft footprint. Weight is 5500 lbs. The Skyhook K2 is 9ft tall, with a 7ft x 7ft canopy and 3' x 4' footprint. Weight is 1,200 lbs.
  • How many e-bikes can a Solar Station power?
    In our experience, a bike share system will need one D4 for every 20 - 30 bikes. We do in-house modeling with advanced software and proprietary tools to make sure your fleet keeps running without a hitch. A detailed analysis includes: - Weather - Latitude - Operation seasons - Equipment - Pedal vs ebike mix - Siting - Ridership - System size
  • Will this fit on a sidewalk or in a parking lot? Where can it be located?
    Yes. The Skyhook is designed for city streets! The butterfly shaped bifacial solar canopy allows for maximum power in any orientation. Rest assured with a small 6' x 3' footprint, the Skyhook fits in the pedestrian right of way next to a typical bikeshare dock. All models fit in parking lots (between spaces) without any loss of parking space. The base is made specifically to be delivered by drop-deck flat-bed trailer and deployed using a pallet jack or forklift.
  • How do I connect the Solar Station to my bike share equipment? Do I need an electrician?
    The Skyhook provides AC power (like a typical wall-outlet) via a conduit that runs underneath the unit. We connect this to the e-bike kiosk or battery charging system. We have a lot of experience getting systems up and running and we can adapt to the needs of your equipment. We offer a full service ship, deploy, and installation package. Our technician will handle everything from start to finish and work with your operations team to ensure a seamless integration. Please let us know if you would be interested in this option when purchasing a Solar Station.
