The residential segment is expected to install 10 gigawatts of
storage in the U.S. between 2024 and 2028 (Wood Mackenzie, June
2024). Eaton’s Home as a Grid approach and new AbleEdge
technologies simplify the energy transition in homes, providing
smart solutions that make it easier to reduce carbon footprint,
keep the power on and support the electric grid. Importantly,
Eaton’s AbleEdge home energy management system is designed for
interoperability with any residential energy storage and solar
system in North America through open application programming
interface (APIs) and multiple communication options for its
microgrid interconnect device.
“We’re providing flexible, cost-effective options to add solar
and energy storage at home that minimize equipment and maximize
functionality, without replacing your electric panels. We first
delivered pioneering smart breakers to enable new levels of
intelligence and scalability, and our AbleEdge ecosystem will
transform new and existing Eaton home infrastructure. Now, you can
rely on Eaton for even more flexibility in home energy systems,”
said Paul Ryan, general manager of Connected Solutions and EV
Charging at Eaton. “And we’re working closely with the biggest
names in home solar and energy storage to accelerate a more
sustainable, electrified future.”
Eaton’s AbleEdge home energy management system will make it
easier to install distributed energy resources (DERs), extend
battery life and enable a seamless transition to backup power
sources during grid outages. The company’s modular approach reduces
equipment count and installation time through a complementary and
fully integrated suite of solutions that can be added to any Eaton
BR loadcenter and meter breaker. The AbleEdge ecosystem will
include:
- Eaton AbleEdge smart breakers leveraging industry-first
technology for load management to help extend battery life
- Eaton AbleEdge microgrid interconnect device enabling a
seamless transition from grid power to energy storage system that
can be retrofitted into existing Eaton meter breakers
- Eaton AbleEdge critical loads and combiner box panels
with flexible configurations accommodating nearly endless
installation and retrofit requirements
Eaton will demonstrate its innovative products and solutions
enabling safe, reliable and sustainable power – including the
AbleEdge home energy management system – at RE+ 24 booth D32011 in
Anaheim, California from September 10 through 12.
