Solar bike shelter, ChargeGo Box and ChargeGo Pole
Three separate products for charging electric bikes. The solar Shelter is a free-standing structure with photovoltaics in the roof, an energy store and its own inverter, covering up to ten bikes. The ChargeGo Box mounts on a wall in an underground garage, a bike room or a hall and draws power from the building. ChargeGo Pole is a free-standing station for two charging points, anchored to a foundation and running on its own panel. They differ in structure, power source, protection and price. What they share is the software: the app, the control panel and the way access is granted.
Three products
Shelter outdoors, Box in the garage, Pole by the path
Three different units, not three versions of one. The Shelter is a free-standing structure with photovoltaics and a battery, covering up to ten bikes. The Box mounts on a wall and draws power from the building. Pole stands on its own, serves two charging points and runs off its own panel. What they share is the software: the app, the control panel and the way 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
ChargeGo Pole
A free-standing solar station 2.8 m tall, anchored to a foundation. Panel on the mast, battery in the body, sockets on the door face. It goes beside a cycle path, on a square or out on a route, where there is nothing to dig up.
- Two 230 V sockets and four USB ports, up to 300 W per charging point
- 600 Wp bifacial panel and 1 kWh LiFePO₄ battery, runs with no grid connection
- Service version with tools and a compressor rated to 8 bar
Product data
Specifications: Shelter, ChargeGo Box and ChargeGo Pole
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 specificationChargeGo Pole
- Charging points
- 2 (or 1 in the Mobile version), plus four USB ports up to 3 A
- Dimensions
- 1726 × 1029 × 2805 mm, about 1 m² in plan, anchored to a foundation
- Photovoltaics
- Bifacial 600 Wp on the mast at a 25° pitch; the panel also shelters the charging point
- Battery
- 1 kWh LFP, 12 V / 80 Ah, managed by a BMS
- Sockets
- 2 × 230 V Schuko with hinged covers, IP44, at 1231 mm. 300 W cap per socket, applied electronically
- Power and price
- off-grid, with no connection and no connection conditions; optional 230 V for hybrid operation. From €4,600 excl. VAT (€6,000 with the service module)
Metering is per charging point and per session, tied to the account that started the charge.
Full Pole 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 power source determines the set of protections, so we describe them separately. The Box runs on a single 230 V circuit from the building installation. The Shelter has its own photovoltaics, energy store 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.

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.

- ✓ The right unit for your site: open shelter (10 charging points), lockable shelter (3 or 6 charging points), or a wall-mounted ChargeGo Box (8 charging points)
- ✓ For an outdoor installation: whether a notification is enough, and estimated solar production for your location
- ✓ For an indoor installation: the electrician's scope, which is one 230 V / 16 A circuit and a wall
