The residential sector accounts for about a fourth of the total energy consumption in North America and Europe. The consumption is anticipated to increase substantially during the coming next few years as the adoption of electric cars and heat pumps are expected to grow fast. Solutions that enable homeowners to reduce their overall energy consumption and increase the share of energy coming from renewable sources therefore play a vital role in the transition to carbon neutrality and mitigating climate change.

The number of HEMS in Europe and North America reached close to 2.8 million in 2023

In 2023, the solar industry as a whole in Europe and North America was negatively impacted by higher interest rates, causing a lower than anticipated demand for new solar PV systems. However, the adoption of HEMS grew substantially in 2023 due to several reasons, including a number of policy changes in key markets that have made investments in HEMS more attractive for homeowners. At the end of 2023, there were an estimated 2.2 million HEMS installed in European homes. An estimated 1.1 million systems were added to the installed base in 2023. This figure includes both new installations of solar PV + battery storage systems as well as installations of battery storage systems in existing solar PV systems (i.e. retrofits). The penetration rate is still very low in Europe, at around 1.8 percent.

Germany is by far the leading market, accounting for more than half of the installed base and shipments in Europe in 2023. Growing at a CAGR of 36.7 percent, the installed base of HEMS in Europe is estimated to reach 10.3 million systems at the end of 2028. This corresponds to a penetration rate of 8.2 percent. There were an estimated 600,000 HEMS installed in North American homes at the end of 2023. Shipments, including both new installations and retrofits, reached 210,000 systems during the year. The US is estimated to account for about 95 percent of the North American market while Canada accounts for about 5 percent. California, Texas and Hawaii are some of the largest HEMS markets in the US. Growing at a CAGR of 38.3 percent, the installed base of HEMS in North America is estimated to reach 3.0 million systems at the end of 2028. This corresponds to a penetration rate of 2.5 percent.
