About 3ti
We are an award-winning B Corp, passionate about innovation and being at the forefront of renewable energy solutions with our patented Smart Solar EV Charging Hub, Papilio3, and enabling the UK's rapid switch to EVs.
Papilio3 is the solar EV charging solution for a wide range of workplace and destination car parks, such as offices, retail outlets and leisure facilities. It addresses the medium-dwell workplace and destination market segment – offices, shopping centres, leisure facilities, hospitals, and conference centres – where EVs are typically parked for 3-6 hours.
The unit is installed 'behind the meter', democratising energy by giving customers control over EV charging tariffs and taking advantage of Papilio3's c.18 MWh/year solar generation. It also provides employees, customers and guests easy access to multiple EV charge points, providing quick, reliable, low cost, low carbon charging.
Papilio3 has been installed in a range of settings across the leisure, public, private, commercial and industrial sectors to quickly meet the need for fleet, destination and workplace charging. It has an installed capacity of 19.3kWp and can produce up to 18MWh of electricity in year one, equivalent to 64,343 EV miles, saving 3.6 tCO2e.
Locations include the iconic Silverstone racetrack, Bentley Motors, JLR, Surrey County Council and NHS Raigmore Hospital in the Scottish Highlands.
