CALGARY — Exro Technologies Inc., a clean technology company that has developed power control electronics that reportedly expand the capabilities of electric motors and batteries, announces that it has entered into a strategic development and distribution agreement with Inferno Solar Ltd., an Alberta-based supplier of solar and electric vehicle charging solutions. The agreement includes deployment of a made-in-Alberta solar-plus-storage product offering, called the Inferno System, which includes Exro’s Cell Driver(TM) Energy Storage System. Under the terms of the agreement, Inferno will hold exclusive distribution rights within Western Canada for five years. The agreement aligns with Exro’s targeted go-to-market strategy for its energy storage product offering, partnering with clean energy integrators that provide scalability to accelerate market penetration and deployment to commercial and industrial customers.
“We want to reduce emissions at the lowest cost per unit, and commercial and industrial buildings are some of the lowest hanging fruit,” said Curtis Craig, president and founder of Inferno Solar. “Our goal is to Power Change, Power Business and Power Alberta with clean energy, and I can’t think of a better partner than fellow Alberta-born company Exro Technologies to help us achieve this goal.”
“We welcome Inferno as our first integrator as we build a network of leading integrators and customers that will support taking Cell Driver to market in the multi-billion dollar commercial and industrial space,” said Exro CEO Sue Ozdemir.
The agreement will begin with a pilot program in Q4 2022 that combines Exro’s Cell Driver(TM) Energy Storage System with Inferno’s solar capabilities to create a new product offering, the Inferno System. The Inferno System consists of a solar panel array and stationary energy storage for C&I sites with the addition of charging infrastructure for EV charging sites.
Under the agreement, Inferno retains exclusive rights to market and distribute the Exro Cell Driver(TM) as a component of the Inferno System in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, as well as the Territories of Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut.
Inferno is a supplier of turn-key solar and EV charging systems. Its solutions purport to combine project management, design and engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning services.
Inferno has a customer base in Exro’s targeted commercial and industrial sectors, including an exclusive supply agreement with York Realty, an Alberta-based property management company.
