Home energy use is undergoing a paradigm shift. What was once a passive relationship between energy suppliers and consumers has now transformed into an active decision-making process for homeowners. How, when and where energy is sourced, stored and distributed is now controlled by a home energy management system – and the reliability of that system is critical to user adoption.
Modern homeowners have more power at their disposal than ever before, and more control over it. In this new world of home energy management, homes and grids work side by side to distribute energy generation, create redundancy and ease resource strain. Renewable energy and its supporting technologies now give homeowners more powerful means to monitor and adjust energy usage and minimize the financial impact of rising energy costs. Energy prices for U.S. households rose 14% from 2022 to 2023 — the same increase as in the nine years between 2013 and 2022. Parts of Europe were even more affected, with energy costs in some countries soaring nearly 100% in 2022, sparking a widespread adoption of solar and leading to a complete reversal of trends. Now, a glut of solar capacity has led to frequent negative energy prices in Europe, forcing energy suppliers to pay homeowners, which also highlights the huge need to store solar energy for when it is needed most.
The rapidly developing home energy storage sector is the epitome of innovation. Home battery storage systems (BSS) are harvesting excess solar energy for later use, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity is identifying power-hungry devices, and vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology is revolutionizing the concept of home charging. However, home energy management is still in the early stages of user adoption, and many are unfamiliar with technologies like BSS. Some may even have misconceptions about fire risks. Regardless of the role the device plays, energy management requires quality, reliability, and safety—the industry’s success depends on it.
