“…Envision Solar International has announced that it has been selected by Renewvia Energy to be the exclusive provider of EnvisionTrak Solar Tree structures and CleanCharge Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure for the company’s growing pipeline of high quality solar deployments. The companies are currently approaching completion on a major project in Arizona.

Envision Solar’s solar parking arrays provide both shade and clean electricity for their owners. The architecturally superior, highly engineered designs are ideal for parking structures and surface lots, and environments that prefer competitively priced clean renewable energy. Additionally, they create added value for the property in the form of covered parking.

The company designs and installs its Solar Tree structures and Solar Groves for a wide range of environments, including corporate campuses, commercial office buildings, light industrial facilities, shopping malls, restaurants, government buildings, schools, universities and hospitals.

“We are pleased to have been selected by Renewvia to provide our iconic solutions for their projects,” said Envision Solar President Desmond Wheatley.

“Renewvia’s commitment to quality has been very apparent throughout the 300kw project we have just completed with them and we look forward to working together on many more solar covered parking projects.”

Envision Solar has a significant portfolio of solar deployments in the commercial parking market. The Solar Grove parking structure at UC San Diego, designed by the company’s founder Robert Noble, has won numerous awards for architectural and engineering excellence.

“At Renewvia, we recognize how important it is to deliver solar parking arrays of the highest quality to our discerning clientele of investor-owned commercial properties,” said Renewvia COO, Trey Jarrard.

“Envision Solar is the obvious choice for deployments where beautiful design and superior installation is required. Envision Solar’s industry-leading portfolio of high quality projects speaks for itself, and we look forward to doing many more projects with the company.”
