Solar Energy & EV Charging Infrastructure Solutions
Lumora Global supports solar and electric vehicle infrastructure for developments looking to reduce grid dependence, prepare for electric mobility and make better use of available energy.
Our scope covers solar PV systems, solar-powered lighting and EV charging infrastructure for public, commercial, residential and fleet applications.

Where Solar & EV Solutions Can Be Applied
Renewable energy and EV charging are now becoming part of the planning process for many new developments as well as existing facilities.
Typical applications include:
- Commercial buildings
- Residential communities
- Public parking areas
- Fleet depots
- Shopping and retail developments
- Hotels and hospitality developments
- Offices and business parks
- Government facilities
- Industrial facilities
- Roads and public spaces
- Warehouses and logistics centres
- Remote locations
The right solution depends on the site, expected demand, available electrical capacity and how the asset is expected to be used over time.

Solar & EV Infrastructure Solutions
01
Solar PV Systems
Solar photovoltaic systems can help buildings and facilities generate part of their electricity requirement directly from available sunlight.
A typical project may involve:
- PV modules
- Mounting systems
- Distribution components
- Monitoring
- Inverters
- Protection equipment
- Cabling and connections
System sizing should be based on more than available roof space. Energy consumption, operating hours, shading, electrical infrastructure and expected generation all need to be considered.
02
Solar Street Lighting
Solar street lighting can be useful where extending electrical infrastructure is difficult, expensive or unnecessary.
Applications can include:
- Roads
- Parks
- Car parks
- Residential developments
- Walkways
- Remote areas
- Public spaces
A solar-lighting system normally combines the luminaire, PV panel, battery, charge controller and mounting arrangement.
The performance of each component must be considered together to ensure the system can operate reliably through changing weather and seasonal conditions.
03
EV Charging Infrastructure
EV charging requirements vary considerably depending on who will use the chargers and how long vehicles are expected to remain parked.
Lumora can support charging applications for:
- Residential properties
- Workplaces
- Shopping destinations
- Mixed-use developments
- Commercial buildings
- Hotels
- Public parking
- Fleet operations
Different projects may require AC chargers, faster DC charging or a combination of both.
04
Fleet & Workplace Charging
Fleet charging requires a different approach from installing one or two standalone chargers.
Vehicle numbers, arrival times, available electrical capacity and operating schedules all influence the charging strategy.
For workplaces, charging may need to serve employees and visitors while avoiding unnecessary pressure on the building's electrical system.
Planning these requirements early can reduce the need for costly changes later.
THE LUMORA Works
How Solar and EV Systems Fit Into the Wider Electrical Infrastructure
Renewable energy and charging systems cannot be considered independently from the building or site's electrical network.
For solar, the design needs to consider how generated power is connected and managed.
For EV charging, the available electrical capacity becomes especially important when several vehicles may charge at the same time.
Depending on the project, coordination may involve:
- Main distribution boards
- Metering
- Load management
- Monitoring platforms
- Protection devices
- Cabling
- Inverters
- Existing building systems
Reviewing these interfaces early helps establish what the existing infrastructure can support.
Lumora Consider
What We Consider During System Selection
01
Actual Energy Demand
Solar capacity should reflect how and when electricity is consumed rather than being selected only according to the maximum space available.
02
Available Electrical Capacity
For EV projects, the number and power rating of chargers must be considered against the site's available supply.
03
Site Conditions
Roof orientation, shading, outdoor temperatures, parking arrangement and cable routes can influence equipment selection and system layout.
04
Usage Pattern
A residential charger, public charger and commercial fleet charger serve very different operating needs.
05
Future Requirements
Where EV adoption or energy demand is expected to increase, infrastructure can be planned so additional capacity is easier to add later.
THE LUMORA Benefits
Benefits of Solar & EV Infrastructure
A properly planned system can help a project:
01
Use renewable energy generated on site
02
Reduce dependence on conventional electricity sources
03
Support sustainability objectives
04
Prepare facilities for growing EV adoption
05
Offer charging as an amenity to occupants or visitors
06
Support fleet electrification
07
Improve visibility of energy use
08
Create infrastructure that can expand as demand grows
The commercial and operational value depends on selecting the right system size and configuration for the actual site.
OUR facilities
Adding Solar or EV Charging to Existing Facilities
Existing buildings can often be upgraded, but the starting point should be an assessment of what is already available.
For solar projects, this may include roof condition, usable area and the existing electrical network.
For EV charging, the main questions usually involve available power, distribution capacity, parking layout and expected charging demand.
In some cases, the existing infrastructure may be sufficient. In others, additional electrical work or load management may be needed before the new system can be introduced.
