Fort Washington, MDSolGreen is the first and only Black-owned and operated company to develop and bring to market innovative clean technology solutions for communities internationally. Founded by inventor and engineer Matthew N. Portis, the company has installed their Evoida Solar Power Workstations at several HBCUs including Bowie State University and UDC, and they have just recently installed their 80th workstation at Park of the Americas in the City of Orlando, Florida.

The Evoida Solar Power Workstation is a commercially available green energy technology serving as a sustainable renewable energy solution for everyday on the go device users. This renewable energy solution is a groundbreaking net zero technology, being a commercially available solar powered workstation that delivers safe, reliable and long-lasting grid-free clean energy for powering on the go digital devices.


Evodia solar power workstation combines extraordinary photovoltaic power with exceptional user comfort and ease of use. This durable system has survived a Category 4 hurricane (Irma 2017), up to three feet of flooding and over 140 MPH winds. The fabricated steel and fiberglass structure are custom developed for long term durability and off the grid power collection, storage and distribution. SolGreen Evodia uses fabricated built-in user interface software and patented PVSE system to provide a reliable safe experience with safety sensors that automatically shut down power to all power outlets once impending weather conditions are detected via the Evoida’s rain sensors.

SolGreen Evodia fuels up to twenty (20) U.S. Jobs across manufacturing and clean energy per each unit sold building industry alliances between; U.S. steel and fiberglass manufacturing, electronics and photovoltaic systems engineering, and America’s clean energy and trucking sector. SolGreen’s Evodia solar power workstation is the world’s first family of commercial off the shelf technology (COTs) using off-the-grid micro power systems to provide unlimited, grid- free safe and reliable solar power that provide users with access to amenities of outdoor social gathering spaces thus making communities more sustainable, more safe, resilient and socially connected.

Every SolGreen Evoida Solar Power Table Workstation feature:

* ADA compliant with back supported seating for four (4) users.
* Wheelchair accessibility for two (2) wheelchairs.
* Four (4) power outlets with, 110V (DC) of power.
* Four (4) USB plug-in charging outlets.
* Built-in LED lights that automatically turn on during sunset and turn off during sunrise.
* Outdoor rated Wifi Capability.
* A made in the USA manufactures guarantee.
* 100% shade covered canopy shelter that protects users from sun, rain, and snow.
* Automated U.S. Patented safety technology only by SolGreen®, that alerts users during inclement weather and allows two-way communication between first responders.
* No power downtime with 24 hours of collected and stored solar energy via maintenance free batteries to provide power to eight (8) portable devices 24/7
* Pre-wired and professionally fabricate to the National Electronics Codes (NEC 2018) for quick installation in under six hours.
* Anti-mold and anti-graffiti textured steel and seat finishing for durability up to 20 years.
* Environmentally tested and proven to withstand up to a Category 4 hurricane winds, 140 MPH wind, snow load, extreme heat, cold and earthquakes.
* Net Zero carbon emission output and grid free power delivery.
 
Users simply plug-in and power their devices at any time – day or night. Their customers are no longer constrained to spending unnecessary money on grid tied power, and may now provide a safe, well lit, and reliable outdoor space that meets the everyday needs of communities and people enjoying outdoor amenities. Traditional energy companies are becoming more irresponsible in the wake of man-made climate change. Each SolGreen Evoida solar power workstation outputs an average of 1800 Voltage DC per day, and delivers America’s outdoor infrastructure with an average of 650,760 Volts DC of grid free power annually with an average cost savings to their customers of $2100 annually per workstation (based on national average 12.3kW hours) while also enhancing public outdoor social gathering spaces with ADA compliant seating and shade while also lowering the planet’s carbon footprint with a net-zero emissions technology.

“We believe SolGreen Evodia represents the future direction of a new market of microgrid technology used for commercial DC Power consumption,” says Portis BSEET, MEM, founder of SolGreen and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of SolGreen.

The Evodia arrives pre-wired for quick installation and is fabricated to the National Electronics Codes (NEC 2018). The SolGreen® Evodia Solar workstation retail price start at $23,699 (U.S. dollars); which comes with their 15-year manufacturer guarantee, two-year full-service warranty with optional paid 5 – 7 year service, and their onsite professional installation assistance. Evodia Solar Power Workstation is available for custom order now and arrives 3-5 weeks from order – immediately ready to bring clean energy and savings to their customers.

Evodia Enhances the Outdoor Infrastructure Experience

In today’s world of greater digital connectivity, individuals require the outdoor spaces that they inhabit to provide greater power and lighting with safe accommodations for their everyday needs.

The Evodia Solar power Table was invented by Portis, a former Raytheon Systems Test Engineer, and developed by SolGreen® in 2012. The SolGreen Evoida is the only commercially available solar power workstation in the U.S. to survive a hurricane and continue safely providing power to its customer after the storm. Four (4) Evodia Solar Tables famously withstood the Category 4 Hurricane Irma (Miami, FL 2017) and continued to provide users and facilities with 100% renewable power the next day, allowing victims of the storm to access necessary power while the grid was down, and continue providing Miami Florida International University with safe power and LED lighting today.
 
SolGreen’s Evodia Solar Power Table and Workstation is aimed at delivering safe reliable 100% grid-free clean energy to a broad group of businesspeople, park goers and college students.

Evodia Solar Power Table Sales Outlook

SolGreen is a privately Black-owned business that is registered as a DE corporation and doing business in all 50 states under their U.S. Registered trademark SolGreen®. SolGreen is the “Apple” of the green technology as worldwide sales of Evodia have produced over 80 units across the US and Canada since 2013 and could total over 2.3 Billion dollars in revenue sales by 2024 with only 10,000 units sold at their current market price. 45% of their sales are targeted towards colleges and universities, 35% percent to communities, cities, parks, and 20% to private sector corporations, real estate developers and private organizations.

Over twenty-four of the nation’s leading universities and commercial entities such as; Shell Oil Corporate headquarters (Houston TX), Florida International University (FIU), Michigan State University (MSU), Bowie State University (BSU), Canada Lands Company, and the City of Orlando Florida have supported SolGreen by installing multiple SolGreen Evoida Solar Power workstations on their campus/sites since 2013. The world-renowned United Nations Headquarters (NYC) has ordered SolGreen Evoida Solar Power Table & Workstations to be delivered by Fall 2020. (See accompanying SolGreen Solar Table press release.)

Other upcoming solar workstation projects include collaborations with the Trust for Public Land and SKANSKA.

SolGreen Evoida solar power workstation dominates as the only commercially available technology of its kind that meets national safety codes and is fully tested and immediately available for commercial usage. SolGreen is manufacturing the new Solar Power Workstations with an automated elastic manufacturing process based in Phoenix, Arizona and California. This process currently produces four systems every week and is capable of producing four units per day, therefore meeting what is expected to be a large demand for this first-of-its-kind grid-free technology.
