The Viability of Smart Panels: Assessing the Current and Future Solutions for Home Energy Management
Report Summary:
This report analyses the product and commercial landscape of home energy management solutions, including smart panels, smart subpanels, home energy monitors and other retrofit solutions. The cost of these technologies is evaluated against a quantification of their value propositions, in light of federal and utility incentives, technical capabilities and electrical code changes. Analysis of the commercial landscape includes partnerships, sales channels, technical integrations and strategic investment. The long-term viability of smart panels is ultimately evaluated in light of the coming deployment of AMI 2.0 and increased DER and appliance connectivity.
