EP Cube launches branded electricity plan to drive faster payback for home energy storage owners in Texas

Nov 5, 2026

EP Cube now has its own electricity plan in Texas, offering exclusive energy rates, solar buyback credits, VPP rewards, and faster payback—all managed through one integrated solution.

AUSTIN, Texas, November 5, 2026 – EP Cube, the intelligent all-in-one home energy storage solution under Canadian Solar, today announced a branded retail electricity plan designed for Texas homeowners with EP Cube systems, powered by Light, a licensed Texas retail electricity provider (REP) enabling embedded electricity products. The new offering pairs the energy storage system with tailored energy rates to create a closed-loop ecosystem. This approach maximizes the homeowner's return on investment through faster payback, while allowing installers to differentiate their business by delivering a comprehensive, value-driven energy solution beyond just hardware.

As Texans face unpredictable energy bills and increasing grid volatility, homeowners are looking for ways to secure reliable power and reduce costs. Traditionally, adopting solar and storage meant navigating a fragmented experience between hardware manufacturers and retail electricity providers. The EP Cube electricity plan eliminates this friction, offering a single, integrated solution that makes the economics of home batteries work from day one.

Available to both new and existing EP Cube owners in Texas, customers can seamlessly enroll in minutes without any power interruption. Homeowners can choose between two plan tiers based on their specific energy needs.

EP Cube Solar Saver is designed for homes that draw less energy from the grid, offering competitive grid import and solar buyback rates.

EP Cube Solar Max features lower grid import rates and much higher solar buyback rates, designed to maximize energy storage value and protect against seasonal rate swings.

Both plans include a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) monthly credit of $2 per kWh of storage capacity—meaning a 20 kWh EP Cube system earns $40 per month. During the contract term, these VPP credits roll over unlimitedly, and participation allows EP Cube homeowners to actively support the Texas grid while earning consistent monthly rewards.

Homeowners can check their address, compare real-time rates, and enroll online in under 2 minutes. Under this model, EP Cube provides the energy storage system and the branded plan offering, while Light handles the electricity service, billing, and metering.

For authorized EP Cube installers, the integrated plan serves as a powerful closing tool. Instead of simply selling hardware, installers can differentiate their offerings by presenting the full home energy economics, helping them provide long-term value to their customers.

The plans are available to EP Cube owners in Texas, subject to service-area availability and plan terms. Prospective customers can enroll before installation, while existing owners can easily switch their installed systems to an EP Cube electricity plan.
