Investment Opportunities
Summary:
The proposed off-grid solar-powered charging plazas and data centers align perfectly with rising demand for EV infrastructure and clean-powered data centers. The technology addresses two booming markets—EV charging (growing at ~17–26% CAGR) and data centers (growing at ~25% CAGR)—while reducing dependency on grid power. With multiple revenue streams, scalable expansion, Opportunity Zone benefits, and sustainable energy integration, the projects present both financial upside and long-term community impact.
Reasons to Invest:
- EV charging demand growing rapidly; first mover advantage in Arizona truck corridor.
- Off-grid solar ensures faster buildout, independent of grid constraints.
- Scalable design: expand from initial chargers to full-service plaza.
- Multiple revenue sources: charging, retail, dining, hydrogen, parking, and more.
- Data center market: $1.12T growth by 2030, high demand for clean energy facilities.
- Strong ROI potential: >15% levered return for the EV Charging stations
- Early Investors: potential of up to 40% in 2 years as PV Power Plant comes online
- Community benefits: jobs, local businesses, sustainable infrastructure
