How to Specify
Off-Grid E-Bike Charging for Your Workplace

As UK organisations continue to prioritise sustainability and active travel, the demand for reliable e-bike charging infrastructure has never been higher. For Transport Managers and Facilities teams, the challenge lies not just in providing charging stations, but in doing so safely — without overloading existing grid connections or falling foul of insurers and landlords.

That’s where Solarcycle comes in.

Why Off-Grid Matters

Off-grid solar e-bike charging allows organisations to support active travel initiatives without relying on the existing electrical grid. By using lightweight solar panels, intelligent power management, and long-life energy storage, Solarcycle delivers dependable charging that’s 100% renewable — ideal for campuses, business parks, NHS trusts, and local authorities aiming for Net Zero operations.

What our customers love:

• Zero grid impact – no costly grid upgrades, trenchworks or disruption

• True resilience – charging continues during power outages

• Measurable carbon savings – CO2 reduction and data reporting, with realtime ROI.

• Rapid deployment – fully modular, relocatable units with zero groundwork.

Understanding Your Requirements

When specifying an off-grid e-bike charging scheme, there are several factors to consider:

1. User Demand & Load Profile
   Estimate daily usage patterns — how many riders, how many ebikes, and average dwell time. Solarcycle provides demand modelling to optimise your solar and battery sizing.

2. Site Conditions
   Solar exposure, shading, and local topography influence design. Our modular systems can adapt to rooftops, car parks, or existing cycle hubs.

3. Security & Accessibility
   Consider security, and inclusive access for all riders. Solarcycle integrates smart access control, 600kg resilient locking, all powered by the same off-grid system.

4. Monitoring & Reporting
   Public sector procurement increasingly demands transparent performance data. Every Solarcycle installation includes online monitoring dashboards for energy generation, usage, and CO₂ savings.

5. Compliance & Quality Standards
   UK public facilities must align with clear standards for solar installations and off-grid systems. Solarcycle’s design and build process exceeds every relevant criteria set out in Quality Assurance Off-Grid Solar at Public Facilities, developed in partnership with the World Health Organisation.

This guide provides useful terminology, technical definitions, and procurement criteria for facilities teams planning solar-powered infrastructure across campuses and public spaces.

Solarcycle: Setting the Standard

Solarcycle’s newest and largest UK campus installation was developed using these same principles — and demonstrates that sustainable, scalable, and fully autonomous e-bike charging is not just possible, but already here.

Every Solarcycle system is:
✅ Independently verified to meet and exceed the UK public-sector standards
✅ Designed for modular expansion as e-mobility grows
✅ Built using the most advanced, secure and sustainable solar technology
✅ Supported by our dedicated operations and maintenance team

For public bodies and campus managers, this means future-proofed infrastructure that’s genuinely off-grid, fully compliant, and visibly sustainable.
