2.1 Overview
This manual contains instructions for the operation of the Eguana Evolve™ home energy storage system. This product, when
installed, is permanently wired to the home electrical panel.
There are two main components as shown below, including the energy storage system (1), and the energy meters installed in the
main electrical panel (2). Your system may include one or two meters, depending on the solar system that is installed.
This product is intended to operate in parallel with a utility connected solar PV system, and is designed to manage the
consumption of utility or solar energy within the home. The system is capable of providing limited backup power to the home in
case of a grid outage, as well as charge batteries from the solar system. A sample diagram below shows a typical layout of an AC
coupled solar plus storage system.
Your system may be installed in a manner differently than shown above. In addition, in accordance with your local electrical code,
your installer may have included dedicated emergency disconnect switches for your battery and solar systems. Consult your
system installer regarding the application and installation setup of your specific system. Refer to the Installer Checklist at the end
of this document regarding information to be provided to you from your certified system installer.
The backup electrical panel shown is a dedicated electrical bus separated from the main electrical bus. While they are shown as
two independent panels above, in many cases, the backup bus resides within the main panel.
