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.
