Skyhook Solar

Skyhook Solar produces Solar Stations to generate electricity without the need for a grid-connection. Our Stations require no construction and can be used to power anything from broadband to transportation options like electric bikes (e-bikes), scooters and electric vehicles (EVs). We make it easy for cities to bring in innovative technologies by providing resilient power sources for those companies to connect to. Our Stations are affordable and can come fully assembled or in a flat pack to be assembled onsite. The majority come with batteries to store energy to be used later if power isn't drawn in real time.
