Save money and gain resilience with an Evolve LFP Energy Storage System

Eligible BC Hydro customers can purchase an Evolve LFP Energy Storage System for only $2400* by participating in BC Hydro's Energy Storage Incentive program and in Eguana's advanced grid service demonstration.

As the demand for electricity in the Province grows there is an increasing demand on the electricity grid. Storing energy can help, reduce peak loads on the grid and provide electricity for protected loads during outages. 

In addition to enjoying increased reliability and on-demand backup power, businesses that purchase an Eguana Evolve LFP system will receive a cash incetive from BC Hydro for helping transition to a more sustainable energy grid for all British Columbians.

BC Hydro Energy Storage Incentive
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Energy Storage Incentive Program?
BC Hydro is offering incentives to their business customers to support the acquisition, installation, and operation of ESS. Once installed, BC Hydro will have the ability to dispatch the ESS automatically in response to changing conditions on the grid. These dispatch signals trigger the battery to discharge, powering the facility it's attached to and reducing demand on the grid. The battery will then recharge later in the day or at night.

Who will install my battery system?
Eguana will refer you to a trained, licensed electrician to facilitate your install. The electrician will do an evaluation of your preferred installation location and your electrical panel before quoting the job.

Does the system work with my existing solar panels? 
Yes. The Eguana battery system can charge from the grid and/or from a solar photovoltaic system.

What are the dimensions of the system and where can it be installed?
The battery system measures in at 44" x 41" and is wallmounted. Eguana recommends installing your Evolve LFP near an electrical panel. For further information about the product, please download the datasheet or the owner's manual.

How many appliances can I power during an outage?
While your fully charged 5kW / 14kWh system can power several essential loads, it is not designed to pwoer your whole business. Eguana customers typically prioritize appliances like fridges and furnaces as well as network devices such as internet modems, laptops, and monitors.

Your installer will work with you directly to select the devices to which you can direct power and provide a more accurate estimate based on your usage patterns.

What incentives am I eligible for?
The incentive provided is based on the amount of battery capacity the customer nominates to be available for demand flexibility or demand response events.  The incentive is calculated as the lesser of:
