CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eguana Technologies (TSX.V: EGT) (OTCQB: EGTYF) is pleased to announce the receipt of additional volume orders of the Eguana Evolve for the Hawaii market.

Hawaiian Electric’s new CGS+ program, which began in March, was designed to enhance the value of residential energy storage systems compared to the original CGS program by reducing export rates for solar power, incentivizing consumers to increase their solar self-consumption. The Company expects to see increasing storage attachment rates as a result.

“Installations are ramping as usual through the summer toward the peak season in calendar Q4, the additional order volume ensures Eguana Evolves will be available to customers on the islands and their projects will be completed before year end,” commented Brent Harris, Chief Technology Officer for Eguana Technologies
