CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 16, 2017- Eguana Technologies Inc {TSX.V: EGT}, one of the leaders in power conversion and control systems for distributed energy storage is pleased to announce it has completed a distribution agreement with German distributor Technologietransfer & Marketing GmbH (www.ttmarket.com).
.
Germany continues to lead the global energy storage landscape with supportive policy structure. Driven by the need to reduce transmission losses and grid constraints on the national grid, the business case for storage continues to strengthen. By the end of 2016, approximately 50,000 households and commercial operations had invested in solar + storage systems, making it the largest global market for residential energy storage. According to GTAI research, new PV battery systems could reach annual installation rates of 50,000 systems by 2020.
.
“Eguana has designed an impressive system containing all the key features of the current market leaders with a smaller footprint and faster installation process,” added Stefan Skirl, founder of Tt&M. “With an existing understanding of the German market and patented touch-free service features like autorecovery and remote diagnostics, we believe together we will capture a significant position in the marketplace, starting with Germany, Austria and Switzerland.”
.
“Successful products in this market need to be integrated as other disparate multi-manufacturer designs have been unable to gain meaningful traction from third party integrators due to patch work design and increasingly complex installations,” stated Justin Holland, CEO of Eguana Technologies. “Utilizing our proprietary technology, we have developed a fully integrated system that can be installed in 1-2 hours, which was a critical feature to attract an established German distributor like Tt&M, who brings an impressive track record of taking innovative solutions to market through an existing network of installers and electricians.”
.
Retrofit installations will also represent additional volume opportunities in Germany as the 20-year guaranteed feed-in tariffs for early installations are phased out. There are currently over one million households with PV systems installed on residential rooftops representing significant upside for retrofit battery installations alongside new PV + Storage systems. Eguana’s solution, with a simple AC side installation, has been developed to maximize installer efficiency in new and retrofit applications. The Company is planning market roll out through the first half of 2018.
