Smart home technology continues to be a major selling point for homeowners looking to purchase real estate. Converting a smart home to solar may seem daunting, but solar technology and smart home technology go hand in hand. Many solar energy systems incorporate the same sort of technology that smart homes already have in place.

Grand View Research released a report asserting that the global smart home market is slated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27.07% from 2023 to 2030. The same report asserts that the market will reach 537.01 billion USD by the year 2030.

North America continues to dominate the smart home market and held a 26.9% share in 2022. Couple that with the fact that more and more homeowners are switching to solar energy, it makes sense that solar technology would be designed for compatibility with smart home technology.

As smart homes become more and more omnipresent, many households are looking for ways to make their homes more efficient, both as a way to experience cost savings and to reduce carbon footprint. Converting to solar will help you reach your smart technology goals and your energy goals.

What is a Smart Home?

According to Investopedia, a smart home is defined as a home that allows homeowners to seamlessly control appliances, thermostats, lights, and other devices – usually remotely with the use of a smartphone, tablet, or remote and facilitated via an internet connection. 

Smart home features include door locks, TVs/monitors, thermostats, cameras/security systems, lights, and appliances such as the refrigerator, washer, and dryer controlled through a central home automation system.

Essentially, smart home technology aims to provide homeowners with convenience as well as cost savings. Coincidentally, the Geneverse PowerPillar ESS provides convenience and cost savings as well. Integrating our green energy storage system into your smart home is a simple way to reduce grid reliance and store your solar power to use as you see fit.

Powering Smart Homes with Solar

Smart home and solar energy technology have a glorious synergy and will make your home more efficient, comfortable, and sustainable.

Solar energy starts at the solar panel, where clean and renewable energy is generated by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity that can be used to power your appliances and devices.

The PowerPillar ESS allows you to monitor your real-time solar energy production. Gain insights into energy generation, consumption, and storage via the PowerPillar Mobile App. ​​Our mobile app and data suite allows you to monitor real-time power output and usage data from your PowerPillar ESS. Control energy savings preferences, evaluate home energy trends, and prevent performance issues with alerts and support options – all from an iOS or Android device.

Energy Storage and Battery Management

Having battery storage is a great way to optimize your smart home and truly own your power. With battery storage, any excess energy produced by your solar panels can be stored for later use, whether it’s during an emergency or during peak use hours.

The PowerPillar ESS features battery storage and a hybrid inverter that acts as the central hub of your PowerPillar system, automatically diverting power between on-grid or solar inputs into battery storage and the connected loads on site. Our all-in-one design will enable you to harness the benefits of solar energy storage without complexity with the most cost-efficient energy storage system on the market.

The PowerPillar ESS goes hand-in-hand with any smart home and will help your household gain energy independence while reducing your carbon footprint.
