Industry Landscape
The residential solar and energy storage industry in California is experiencing robust growth, driven by consumer demand for energy independence, resilience against outages, and significant government incentives like SGIP. The state's push for clean energy and grid stability, coupled with declining technology costs, makes it a highly dynamic and competitive market. Companies are focusing on integrated solutions and leveraging policy support.
Total Assets Under Management (AUM)
Residential Solar Installed Capacity in United States
~Approximately 7 GW in California (cumulative as of 2023, for solar PV). For energy storage, California is a leading market, though specific residential installed capacity in GWs is harder to pinpoint directly for the combined solar+storage for 2024 without specific reports.
(15-20% CAGR)
- Policy support and incentives drive adoption. - Decreasing hardware costs make systems more accessible. - Growing consumer awareness of energy resilience.

Emerging Technologies
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology
V2G allows electric vehicles (EVs) to not only charge from the grid but also send excess stored energy back, acting as mobile battery storage units for homes and the grid.
Advanced AI-driven Energy Management Systems
AI-powered systems will optimize residential energy consumption and storage in real-time, predicting usage patterns, managing solar generation, and battery discharge based on utility rates, weather, and grid conditions.
Solid-State Batteries
This next-generation battery technology offers higher energy density, faster charging times, enhanced safety, and longer lifespans compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, reducing system footprint and cost over time.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 (2022)
California's NEM 3.0 significantly reduced the compensation rates for excess solar energy exported to the grid for new solar customers, particularly those without battery storage.
NEM 3.0 drastically increases the financial incentive for new solar installations to include battery storage, as self-consumption becomes more valuable than exporting excess energy.
Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) Equity Resiliency Budget (Ongoing)
The SGIP Equity Resiliency Budget, a component of the broader SGIP, provides higher incentives for energy storage systems to low-income customers and those in high fire-threat areas, specifically addressing grid resiliency and energy independence.
This policy directly underpins Haven Energy's 'no-cost' business model, making energy storage accessible to its target low-to-moderate income demographic and driving market growth in the residential storage sector.
California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, 2022)
The 2022 Title 24 update required all new residential buildings in California to include solar PV systems and encourages battery storage, with mandatory storage for certain building types.
While primarily affecting new construction, this policy fosters a widespread understanding and acceptance of integrated solar and storage, indirectly boosting demand for retrofit solutions for existing homes like those offered by Haven Energy.
