CALGARY, Alberta and AGUADILLA, Puerto Rico, Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eguana Technologies (TSX.V:EGT) (OTCQB:EGTYF) and Maximo Solar Industries (Maximo) are pleased to report that initial shipments of the Evolve system have landed in Puerto Rico. The Companies have also confirmed an additional container of Evolve systems are in transit with further shipments expected to take place in December. Further, the companies have agreed to allocate up to two containers per month throughout 2019 ensuring a consistent supply of Eguana Evolve’s required to meet the demand being generated by Maximo Solar and their extensive network of partners.
Maximo has begun to market the Evolve energy storage system across Puerto Rico through its network of sales agents, six retail locations, social media, print advertisement and other marketing channels. Maximo is offering the 13KWh Evolve system, coupled with 15 solar PV panels, balance of system components and installation for a low monthly cost of $255 / month or $22,995 cash purchase.
The Evolve systems and accompanying marketing material will be on display at all 5 of Maximo’s retail locations across Puerto Rico as well as the company’s kiosk located at Plaza America, the largest shopping mall in the Caribbean. Additionally, the companies have agreed that effective January 2019, Evolve will be available to Maximo Solar’s network of resellers and contractors located in Puerto Rico, Florida, USVI, BVI and other select markets.
“We entered Puerto Rico through the largest solar + battery systems provider, who has a tremendous amount of experience selling, installing and servicing energy storage systems. Maximo has built a strong reputation and customer base that is seeking a cost-competitive storage solution to add to their existing solar systems,” commented Livio Filice, Director of Residential Sales. “We are thrilled to be positioned as a market leader in a region that clearly illustrates the advantages of solar + storage systems. Maximo is a key partner and will play a critical role in bringing our leading-edge technology to families and communities who need it the most.”
The AC-coupled design of the Evolve system makes it an ideal solution for outfitting existing solar PV systems where homeowners are looking to install energy storage systems. Maximo Solar maintains over 6,000 Puerto Rican -based residential customers that currently do not have energy storage systems. In addition, it is reported that nearly all new solar systems being installed in Puerto Rico are being integrated with storage solutions.
“Our customers are demanding cost-competitive and proven energy storage systems that are available today. Energy storage systems will continue to play a critical role in the redevelopment of Puerto Rico so we view our battery offering as a critical component of the product portfolio,” said Derlin Muñoz, Director of Sales and Marketing at Maximo Solar. “We have already secured orders for Evolve systems and as the Master Distributor for Eguana in Puerto Rico we are pleased with the relationship and look forward to expanding on it as we enter 2019.”
CEO of Eguana Technologies Justin Holland added “Puerto Rico is aggressively moving to achieve 50% electricity generation from renewables by 2035 and 100% by 2050. We are proud to partner with Maximo Solar to bring the Evolve and energy stability to families in Puerto Rico. As an Eguana Master Distributor Maximo will open distribution channels to additional installers and resellers with the goal of accelerating the solar + storage movement on the island.”
