Community Power Hub
One panel, several drivers. Shared charging for buildings that would rather pay for the electrical work once than once per resident.
A hub you assemble from modules
The Community Power Hub is the product. The modules are the building blocks — solar, storage, onsite generation and EV charging, chosen by the owner.
A Community Power Hub is one configurable energy hub, built from customer-selected modules: solar panels, battery energy storage, natural gas power generation, and Level 2 or Level 3/DC fast EV charging. It can run on a single module, or combine several at once. What goes in is set by the property’s capabilities, the owner’s goals, and the needs of its residents, tenants, customers and visitors. We specify the controller, metering and controls once; the modules plug into that base.
Energy in on the left, energy out on the right, storage beside the hub — you choose the modules.
The short version
Who pays for the electrical work, and who pays for the energy.
Design stage. Clink is developing the Community Power Hub and seeking its first site partners. This page describes a proposed configuration, not an installed reference project. The scenarios that follow are illustrative: the layout, metering and payback of any real site depend on its service size, occupancy and local rates, which we assess before we specify.
A Community Power Hub is one shared service feeding several charging points. The site pays for the electrical work once; each driver pays for the energy they take, metered per session and settled on one monthly statement.

Where it earns its place
Three places this usually pays for itself.
Condo & strata
Two dozen units, one parking lane, and a panel nobody wants to replace.
Workplace
Staff arrive, plug in, leave at six. Shared points beat a row of reserved poles.
Main street
Three storefronts chasing the same handful of spots, on a service sized for none of it.
