Haven Energy is a well-funded, seed-stage startup focused on accelerating the adoption of home energy storage through a two-sided marketplace model.&nbsp; We believe that widespread, distributed storage will be a key part of our energy future, helping stabilize the electric grid in the face of increasing climate change-induced weather events, aging infrastructure, and increased electric loads due to home electrification.&nbsp; For homeowners, on-site storage will help prevent blackouts, reduce electricity costs and provide a level of energy independence and security.
With our two-sided marketplace model, Haven guides homeowners through the selection, quoting, financing and scheduling of a home battery system install, and we pair homeowners with vetted, qualified electricians to perform the installation.&nbsp; We offer a phenomenal experience for&nbsp;both&nbsp;the homeowners and the installers, as both are key to our long term success.&nbsp;
