Eguana Technologies (TSX.V: EGT) (OTCQB: EGTYF) is pleased to announce it has completed its acquisition of Solarlab Pty Ltd. Founded in 2017 and based in Adelaide, South Australia, Solarlab has been delivering high value design, sales, installation, and monitoring services in energy storage and residential and commercial solar markets nationally throughout Australia.
Alongside its commercial rooftop solar business, Solarlab is a preferred supplier of solar and storage solutions to Embedded Electricity Network operators in the multi-tenant residential market, including low rise apartments and retirement villages. In these developments the utility serves the Embedded Network as a single microgrid customer and the Embedded Network operator manages onsite renewables and storage as well as individual customer billing in order to provide tenants with the lowest energy costs while providing services to the grid.
The acquisition is expected to:
- Provide vertically integrated services for utility partners and virtual power plant objectives
- Expand channel opportunities including home builders nationally
- Provide national licensing for electrical, solar, and storage sales and installations
- Deliver incremental installation revenue opportunities
“Solarlab’s team of skilled renewable energy sales and installation professionals in Australia positions Eguana with a direct and improved customer experience with greater control of our ecosystem,” commented Eguana CEO Justin Holland. “Consolidating the design and installation of our energy storage systems strengthens our relationship with utility partners as well as the deployment of virtual power plants, which are set to play a key role in the Australian market.”
