A Smarter Alternative to the Tesla Powerwall:
Discover the EP Cube by Canadian Solar
Available across BC and Alberta from Switch Energy - a Canadian-owned and operated solar distributor
If you’re searching for a dependable and flexible alternative to the Tesla Powerwall 2, the EP Cube by Canadian Solar is a top-tier choice – especially for Canadian homeowners and solar professionals.
Whether you’re planning a new grid-tied solar system or upgrading an existing one with battery backup, the EP Cube delivers what the Powerwall and other systems can’t: flexibility, reliability, and support that’s built for Canada.
Why Choose the EP Cube Over the Tesla Powerwall 2?
While Tesla’s Powerwall 2 is a well-known name in energy storage, it’s not always the right fit – especially in Canada. Supply chain issues, installation limitations, and lack of local support can turn a sleek solution into a frustrating one.
Flexible & Modular Design
Unlike the Powerwall 2’s fixed configuration, the EP Cube is fully modular. Start with a base unit and expand storage in 3.3 kWh increments up to 19.9 kWh per stack - or combine stacks for even more capacity.
AC & DC Coupling
Compatible with both new and retrofit solar systems thanks to support for AC- and DC-coupled configurations. Tesla Powerwall 2 is AC-only.
Eligible for Canadian Rebates
The EP Cube qualifies for many provincial energy storage rebates in markets like BC, Quebec, and Nova Scotia - Powerwall 2 may not, depending on program eligibility and manufacturer participation.
Reliable Backup Power
The EP Cube includes a hybrid inverter with seamless backup capabilities, smart load management, and generator integration. No extra inverter needed.
