Evolve is a cost-effective solution for California homeowners looking for to reduce their energy bill and increase their energy security from wildfires and grid failures all while helping the environment.
Highlight Solar, an Eguana-certified partner, is scheduled to complete their first group of Evolve energy storage systems in August with installations continuing throughout the balance of 2020. Dean Alayleh, principal of Highlight Solar stated, “At Highlight Solar, we adapt to meet our customers’ diverse needs. Currently, with the utilities’ public safety power shutoffs for wildfire prevention, time of use (TOU) rates, and availability of SGIP incentives, we’ve had a tremendous demand for high-efficiency residential energy storage systems. Highlight Solar has an impeccable record for workmanship and customer service and support. We feel that Eguana offers that same level of performance and customer support and we are excited about the partnership.” The companies expect to bring over 1 MWh of energy storage systems to homeowners through the San Jose and San Francisco Bay area over the next 12 months.
