What They Do
Haven Energy specializes in solar and battery backup systems for residential customers, aiming to make electricity cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable through integrated solar and home battery systems (source: havenenergy.com). The company operates on a brand-agnostic model, offering batteries from manufacturers such as FranklinWH, Tesla Powerwall, and Enphase, allowing for tailored solutions that meet individual customer needs during the design process (source: havenenergy.com). A key differentiator is that Haven owns and operates the systems it deploys, enabling it to claim commercial federal tax credits and pass those savings directly to customers, thus simplifying the process for homeowners (source: havenenergy.com). This full-service approach includes permitting, installation, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance, which helps to remove barriers to adoption for residential customers (source: havenenergy.com).
Projects & Track Record
Haven Energy has been actively deploying systems across California, particularly focusing on Southern California and disadvantaged areas of Los Angeles (source: havenenergy.com). As of April 2025, the company is involved in the Self-Generation Incentive Program's Residential Solar & Storage Equity (SGIP RSSE) framework, which represents a significant $280 million state initiative aimed at providing no-cost solar and battery systems to income-qualified customers (source: havenenergy.com). Haven also serves as the first Virtual Power Plant (VPP) partner for the Clean Power Alliance, collaborating with utility companies and community choice aggregators to deploy distributed battery systems (source: havenenergy.com).
Recent Developments
In April 2025, Haven Energy announced its participation in California's $280 million Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) RSSE framework, which allows the company to offer no-cost solar and battery systems to income-qualified customers (source: havenenergy.com). The company also expanded its partnerships with The Energy Coalition to provide battery systems to low- and moderate-income customers through the Bassett Avocado Heights Advanced Energy Community program (source: havenenergy.com). Additionally, Haven completed a Series A funding round raising $7 million approximately one year ago, bringing its total funding to $11.2 million (source: havenenergy.com).
Working There
Haven Energy's leadership team includes professionals with diverse backgrounds in technology, operations, finance, and service design, indicating a structured approach to its organizational focus (source: havenenergy.com). The company actively recruits for various positions and maintains a careers page, reflecting ongoing hiring efforts (source: havenenergy.com).
