The ChargeGo solar bike shelter and ChargeGo Box
The solar Shelter is a freestanding outdoor structure with roof-mounted solar panels, a battery and its own inverter, so it works where there is no grid connection. ChargeGo Box mounts on the wall of an underground garage, bike room or hall and runs off the building's own circuit. They share the software: the app, the admin panel and how access is granted.
Two products
Shelter outdoors, Box in the garage or bike room
These are two different devices, not two versions of one. The Shelter is a freestanding structure with its own solar panels, battery and inverter; the Box is a wall-mounted unit powered from the building's own electrical system. They share the software: the app, the admin panel and how access is granted.
ChargeGo Shelter
A freestanding structure with rooftop solar and a battery. It runs with no grid connection: in a car park, in front of a hotel, on a housing estate or along a bike trail.
- 10 charging points (open), or a lockable Shelter with doors, locks and 3 or 6 charging points
- 1.74–3.48 kWp solar + LFP battery, 24/7 off-grid operation
- From €18,500 excl. VAT
ChargeGo Box
A wall-mounted station for an underground garage, bike room or hall. No structure or foundation to build; the unit mounts on an existing building's wall, typically without a building permit or notification.
- 8 charging points powered from a single 230 V / 16 A circuit
- IP44 sockets with covers, energy metering on every charging point
- Started from the mobile app, or optionally a PIN code or RFID card
Product data
Specification: solar bike shelter and ChargeGo Box
The parameters we get asked about most. Full tables with dimensions, ingress ratings and certifications are on the product pages.
ChargeGo Shelter
- Charging points
- 3 to 10: open Shelter (10) or lockable Shelter (3 or 6)
- Dimensions
- 6.4 × 3.2 m, ridge height 2.7 m, ~20 m² footprint
- Solar
- 1.74–3.48 kWp, mono-Si, class II, waterproof roof integration
- Energy storage
- ~1.8–6 kWh LFP, operates down to −20 °C, BMS-controlled heating
- Outlets
- 3 to 10 × 230 V Schuko, with current monitored separately at each socket. Crossing the set threshold cuts off that charging point only
- Power and price
- off-grid 24/7 or hybrid with 230 V as backup; a 3,000 VA inverter caps the combined power of all charging points. From €18,500 excl. VAT (lockable Shelter €23,500 / 32,500)
Metering is per charging point and per session, tied to the account that started the charge.
Full shelter specificationChargeGo Box
- Charging points
- 8, in one row of sockets
- Power supply
- one 230 V / 16 A circuit, existing or run by us
- Current per charging point
- 2 A (~460 W), limit enforced electronically; exceeding it disconnects that one charging point and flags it in the app, while the rest keep charging
- Outlets
- Schuko 16 A / 250 V, IP44, shuttered contacts, energy meter on every outlet
- Protection
- main disconnect, 30 mA type A RCDs and overcurrent protection on every charging-point circuit, surge protector, safety switch, all built into the enclosure
- Mounting
- wall-mounted, indoors only; requires a wall
Metering is per charging point and per session, tied to the account that started the charge.
Full Box specificationStarting a charge
Scan the QR code at the charging point or start from the app, then get a notification when the session ends. The Shelter and the ChargeGo Box work the same way, with no staff involved.
User app
Users choose a nearby station, select a charging point and start charging. The app is the default method; a PIN code at the station or an RFID card also work.
Security
Electrical protection
The two products are protected differently because they are powered differently. The Box runs on a single 230 V circuit from the building's own installation; the shelter has its own solar panels, battery storage and inverter.
Protection on a single 230 V circuit
- 2 A limit per charging pointEnforced electronically. Exceeding it disconnects that one socket and flags it in the app, instead of tripping the breaker for the whole circuit.
- Full protection in the enclosureMain disconnect switch, residual-current and overcurrent protection, surge protection and a safety switch.
- Schuko IP44 outlets with shutter contacts16 A / 250 V, sealed construction.
- Energy meter on every socketA separate measurement circuit at each socket.
Current monitoring and DC-side protection
- Current monitoring on every socketThe controller measures current separately on each channel and disconnects the socket once it crosses the set threshold. The same measurement detects when charging finishes and frees the charging point.
- Protection for the solar array and batteryThe shelter runs on its own inverter, fed by the panels and the LFP battery. That adds a DC side: a PV disconnect switch, surge protection and a BMS that monitors cell temperature.
- Protection sized to the electrical designResidual-current and overcurrent protection is sized for the specific installation and confirmed in the as-built documentation.
- 6 MP IP camera, IP67 housingDay and night mode. Snapshot images are deleted after one hour by default; the site can set a longer retention period.
For the Box, an electrician sets the scope of work on the building's side after a site visit. The unit needs a 230 V / 16 A circuit run to the location.
ChargeGo platform
One app for both product lines
The Shelter and the Box are different hardware, but the app shows the same information for both: a list of charging points, their status, live power draw and session history.
No front desk needed to start a session
Guests start from the mobile app or a QR code at the station, and get a notification when charging finishes. Staff don't hand out or collect anything. RFID cards and fobs are available as an add-on.
Usage tracked at every charging point
The Box has an energy meter on every socket, while the Shelter measures current on every socket. You know who charged, when and how much, without adding submeters.
Usage per charging point and per session goes into the panel and into the reports.
A dropped connection doesn't stop charging
The device keeps working and measuring locally, and events sync once the connection comes back. Remote monitoring and control return with it.

Who it's for
Where ChargeGo gets used
Charging for hotel guests
Guests scan a QR code at the charging point and start charging from their phone. The front desk hands out nothing and collects nothing. The shelter stands outside and runs on its own solar power.
