At the Freedm Systems Center at North Carolina State University, researchers plugged a 6.3-kW mobile solar generator from Gismo Power into a standard dryer outlet to feed electricity to an electric vehicle (EV) charger.

“If the solar panels are putting out enough power, that’s what actually feeds the batteries in the cars. But if it’s a cloudy day or it’s night, then we pull power from the building’s grid to charge the EVs,” said Ken Dulaney, director of industry and innovation at the Freedm Systems Center.

“It’s a lower cost way to deploy solar panels,” he added.

As a research institute studying power systems, the center was able to just plug in the solar generator—called a mobile electricity generating appliance–into the university’s own electric grid.
