1.1 About this Manual
– Target Audience
This manual is intended to be used by qualified service and installation personnel for the purposes of product installation.
This manual contains instructions for the installation and start up sequence of the Eguana Evolve™ home energy storage
system; including the PCS and master battery cabinets. This product is permanently wired to the home electrical service,
and must be installed by a licensed electrician only. This system also includes a combined energy management system
and automatic transfer switch in a separate panel, herein defined as the ACXIS panel. Installation and commissioning
of the ACXIS panel is not covered within the scope of this document, however, it is referenced where necessary for
installation planning.
The ACXIS panel relies on an AC coupled PV solar source to charge the batteries as part of the energy management
control algorithms. A PV solar system must be installed in conjunction with this energy storage system. The ACXIS
panel contains a built-in automatic transfer switch (ATS) to isolate critical loads during a grid outage. When this product
is not in service, critical loads are routed directly to the grid panel via the ATS.
The battery capacity of this system can be expanded by adding additional cabinets adjacent to the master battery cabinet.
Expansion of battery capacity is not covered within the scope of this document. Please refer to the following documents
for comprehensive information to support the Evolve home energy storage system installation.
