California-based Enteligent, a developer of solar power optimization and solar EV charging technologies, has raised $6 million to scale the commercialization of its photovoltaic module-level power optimizers and its DC-to-DC bidirectional EV chargers.
The funding round was led by Taronga Ventures, an Australian venture capital firm focused on emerging technologies.
Enteligent is supplying what it says is the world’s first long-dwell-time 25 kW DC-to-DC EV charger to a large logistics company to power its recently electrified delivery fleet. It is also pre-selling its solar-powered TLCEV T1 EVSE, which delivers up to 12.5 kW of direct, on-site DC charging.
The company claims up to 20% energy savings for this and other Enteligent DC-to-DC models that eliminate the DC-to-AC-to-DC conversion losses of AC-powered EVSEs. Enteligent’s NMax PV module power optimizers feature rapid shutdown safety capabilities to ensure maximum continuous output of each panel.
“Our mission is to drive a paradigm shift in energy consumption habits by leveraging abundant solar power and our innovative technology to facilitate society’s transition to electrification,” said Enteligent CEO and co-founder Sean Burke.
