Schneider Home: the all-in-one solution for energy autonomy, awarded at #CES2023

In addition to its Wiser energy management app, Schneider Electric won another award at CES 2023 for its Schneider Home solution: an integrated home energy management solution that automates energy production, storage, measurement, and control, making homes efficient, resilient, and sustainable. This solution is particularly aimed at homeowners seeking savings, comfort, and energy independence—a topic that's more relevant than ever! The solution is initially planned for the American market, where Schneider Electric also has a strong presence, but it's worth exploring, hoping for its upcoming arrival in Europe. Schneider Home: an all-in-one solution for energy independenceThe Schneider Home energy management solution includes a home battery for clean energy storage, a high-power solar inverter, a smart electrical panel, an electric vehicle charger, and connected electrical outlets and switches. All controlled via the easy-to-use Schneider Home app. The Schneider Home solution intelligently orchestrates home energy by bringing together electrical power, solar power, battery backup, and electric vehicle charging. It offers unparalleled intelligence to homeowners, including the ability to monitor energy consumption by individual device, decide where to prioritize power during an outage to extend available backup power, and avoid costly electrical service upgrades when purchasing an electric vehicle. The solution also allows homeowners to save money by enrolling in utility programs and benefit from tax incentives. Unlike existing solutions that require separate applications and disjointed hardware, Schneider Electric has eliminated complexity for homeowners by automating energy generation, storage, measurement, and control. Recognized by CES as a 2023 Innovation Award winner, Schneider Home's sleek design and integrated approach mark a new era in home energy management solutions.There has never been a greater need for transformation or a greater opportunity for positive impact, and innovation is how we empower consumers to move toward net zero. Homeowners are now able to generate their own energy and seamlessly switch between energy sources to optimize costs. Schneider Home provides them with the tools for a self-sufficient home, reducing their environmental impact while saving on their energy bills. Nadege Petit, Executive Vice President of Innovation at Schneider Electric

Schneider Home offers a unique integration of energy resources and digital capabilities, including:

Schneider Pulse: The heart of the electrified home. A smart electrical panel powered by embedded technology, functionality, and intelligence to interconnect the various energy sources in the home. This solution has already been recognized for its innovation with awards from Time, Fast Company, and Green Builder, among others.

Schneider Boost: The home battery for energy storage. Store solar energy during the day and use it during peak hours to save on your electricity bill and maintain home power during an outage.

Schneider Inverter: The high-power hybrid inverter for solar and storage. It converts solar energy production into usable AC electricity.

Schneider Charge: The electric vehicle charger. It harnesses solar energy and on-site storage to increase charging speeds and reduce charging costs.

Schneider Home: The one app to control it all. Monitor, control, and automate energy management throughout the home with a single, easy-to-use app.

Choice, control, convenience—these are the features consumers want in every experience. What better place to deliver them than their own home? We seized the opportunity to reimagine home energy by putting the customer at the center, then designing a complete integrated system tailored to their needs and paired with an intuitive app to simplify its operation. Now, with Schneider Home, homeowners can save time, save money, and help address the climate challenge. Jaser Faruq, Senior Vice President, Innovation & Energy Storage at Schneider Electric

• The timing of this announcement couldn't be more important. The cost of electricity continues to rise, even in the United States, while devastating weather events and grid instability are driving the need for cleaner, more cost-effective, more resilient, and more secure energy.
• At the same time, the United States is making unprecedented investments in clean energy, and renewable energy is poised to become the dominant source of electricity generation by 2025. Government incentives, utility programs, and rebates have driven a significant shift in how consumers use energy in their daily lives.
• One App to Control It All
• Schneider Electric is the first company to bring together disparate home energy technologies into an integrated, open, and streamlined system—all controlled by a single app with unique capabilities, including:
• Preset and customizable energy-saving settings, like Away Mode, to turn off non-critical devices when not needed, customize lighting scenes, and configure your battery to maximize savings.

Smart charging for electric vehicles when rates are lowest, or directly from solar power.

Reduced installation time and complexity compared to legacy systems.

Minimal footprint and streamlined design take up less space than current configurations—less clutter, more curb appeal.

As an industry leader, found in 4 out of 10 U.S. homes, and with a track record of delivering smart, sustainable home electrification, Schneider Electric is meeting customers' needs today and preparing them for the future. This solution addresses a clear market need, at a time when 83% of Americans consider energy efficiency and sustainability the most important factors for home improvements. Schneider Home's energy management solution is modular in design and can be purchased as a complete suite or incrementally, depending on homeowners' evolving needs. The complete solution will be rolled out during 2023.
