ZBB Energy Corp.: Exhibits at Intersolar to debut new products and breakthrough energy management systems

MILWAUKEE, WI –
For the first time, ZBB Energy Corporation (NYSE MKT: ZBB), a leading developer of innovative energy management systems for the utility and commercial and industrial (C&I) building markets, is exhibiting at InterSolar North America, booth 8738, July 14-16, 2015 in San Francisco.

In the past six months, ZBB Energy has announced a series of new products, partnerships and capabilities that have positioned it as a forerunner in the rapidly growing distributed energy generation and distributed smart storage industry.

“With our recent advances, we are being recognized as a leading energy management systems supplier and are one of the only companies that provide buildings, whether grid-tied or off-grid, the future proof means to easily accommodate additional energy applications years later,” said Brad Hansen, president and COO of ZBB Energy. “We create systems that monetize behind-the-meter assets for building owners and provide options in terms of utilizing a variety of generating sources.”

ZBB recently signed a contract to provide an advanced energy management system for the largest off-grid renewable energy installation in the Cayman Islands. That contract came on the heels of a signed power purchase agreement with a 350-unit condominium complex in Hawaii that is expected to deliver $2 million in net energy savings during the next 20 years.

For the C&I market, ZBB has introduced new products and systems that are designed to: enable distributed intelligence and active control of inputs and outputs inside buildings; allow a building to be connected to others in a micro grid; provide seamless connectivity to the utility for smart export on demand; and deliver cash generation opportunities from a building’s distributed energy systems.

“We can now design and implement an ‘energy hub’ within the building and between the utility and the buildings’ distributed energy generation. Our approach provides systems that are flexible and scalable to prioritize and optimize all generation sources. We utilize our battery storage systems, proprietary ‘Auto-Sync’ DC-Bus technology and power control technologies to do this in a simple and cost-effective way,” Hansen concluded.
