3ti Energy Hubs has completed the strategic divestment of its solar car park construction division to Phoenix Renewables (doing business as egg). The multi-million-pound transaction will enable 3ti to rapidly scale its solar EV charging hub technology, Papilio3.

3ti’s Papilio3 platform is built around upcycled shipping containers with 19.3 kW of integrated solar capacity. It requires minimal site prep, so it is “ideal for rapid deployment across workplaces, fleets and destination locations.” 3ti claims that its system allows businesses to install up to 12 EV charge points in a single day. Installations to date include Silverstone Circuits, NHS hospitals and police forces across the UK.

3ti will continue to work in partnership with egg where their respective technologies complement each other, ensuring continuity of service for existing clients.

“This move represents a pivotal moment for 3ti as we focus our resources on what we do best—delivering rapid, reliable EV charging solutions through our patented Papilio3 technology,” said Alex Tupman, CEO of 3ti. “egg’s backing by Liberty Global Europe and their experience in the clean energy sector makes them the perfect partner to continue serving our enterprise solar car park clients.”

“This acquisition lays the foundation for growth in a hugely relevant market,” said Paul Almond, Director of B2B at egg. “Car parks represent a major untapped energy resource, but complexity and capital costs often delay progress. We now have software that lets us quickly design solar car port layouts, calculate expected generation and CO₂ savings, and combine this insight with our financing solutions to build compelling business cases in minutes.”
