There are hundreds of technologies available on the market today that are designed to "green" your home. However, a new market is emerging that takes home energy management to the next level: energy storage. Outside of California, the term "home energy storage" may be unfamiliar: this market segment was nearly nonexistent in 2017. However, by the end of 2019, home energy storage comprised over one-third of the total energy storage market nationally. By 2021, it will become a billion-dollar domestic market. While green tech can improve the efficiency and sustainability of your home's daily operations, no other technology allows you to take complete control over your energy usage and costs like energy storage technologies that allow you to store energy for use when you need it (thus avoiding spikes in electricity costs caused by daily variations in supply and demand). This presentation will walk the audience through the components of a fully integrated home energy storage, management and monitoring system, as well as its standard functions. Audience members will learn how they can utilize home battery technology not only to minimize electricity costs, but also how to protect against power outages, participate in incentive programs, and even connect a battery to home solar or other smart-home devices (smartphone included).
