Eguana Technologies announced it has expanded its license agreement with Pineapple Energy to include the E-Gear EMC, the onsite energy management system used in its energy storage product line. Eguana had previously licensed the cloud-based elements of the E-Gear solution. This expanded license provides Eguana with direct control of the connection between the Eguana Cloud and its proprietary PCS, completing the full software stack from user interface and utility APIs all the way through to the embedded power controls and battery management systems. The Energy Management System (EMS) is a key component of any Energy Storage System that makes local control decisions and provides a secure IoT link to the Eguana Cloud, where fleet operating data is stored.

The Eguana Cloud will enable full VPP operational control through remote signals based on grid operator or homeowner specific needs.
