Papilio3 captured the attention of Robert Llewellyn on the Everything Electric Show as he witnessed our innovative solar EV charging hub installed in just a few hours at the University of Surrey. With 12 EV charge points and generating around 18 MWh of solar electricity a year, avoiding new grid connections, Papilio3 showcases how EV charging infrastructure should be: clean, simple, and reliable.
“What a lovely simple idea to cover car parks in solar panels… if you’re not doing that now, you’re an utter disgrace to the human race!” – Robert Llewellyn

Segen, a leading UK distributor of renewable energy products, has installed a Papilio3 smart EV solar charging hub at its Training Academy and Distribution Centre. The hub provides 12 charging bays for staff and trainees, supporting Segen’s mission to accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.
SCC’s growing electric vehicle fleet will be powered by Papilio3, supporting the council’s sustainability strategy. The solution was chosen to fulfill the urgent need for EV charging infrastructure at the site.
“The force’s target is to be Net Zero for all scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040, and it is hoped exploring the use of technology such as this – which uses solar panels on its roof – will help us achieve that.”
