- New white paper from Frost & Sullivan highlights growing demand for resilient home energy solutions amid rising grid instability
FREMONT, Calif., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 4, Frost & Sullivan released a new white paper, North American Essential Home Backup Industry White Paper, shedding light on the growing demand for resilient and sustainable home energy solutions across the continent. Central to the report is the introduction of Essential Home Backup (EHB). As a global leader in portable energy storage and a pioneer in green energy solutions for diverse household applications, Jackery has set a new industry benchmark for this emerging product category, with its solution recognized as a benchmark in the white paper.
As North America faces mounting pressure from an aging power grid, extreme weather events, and soaring electricity prices, the need for reliable, cost-effective, and autonomous household energy solutions has become urgent. The white paper positions EHB as a comprehensive solution tailored to modern energy challenges. EHB products are designed for flexibility, ranging from backup power for specific appliances to whole-home energy solutions. This versatility allows homeowners to choose configurations that meet their specific needs, whether preparing for emergencies or optimizing daily energy consumption.
A key focus of the report is the critical role of EHB systems in extreme conditions. During Arizona's 2025 heatwave, for example, EHB-equipped homes remained powered as the grid collapsed under record temperatures. In colder regions, systems operated reliably thanks to low-temperature photovoltaic modules, thermal-regulated enclosures, and predictive insulation. Flood- and quake-resistant designs further ensured stability in high-risk zones.
Beyond resilience, EHB solutions deliver long-term value. The white paper highlights that integrating storage with solar can boost household energy independence by over 70%, cutting utility bills. As battery costs fall and panel efficiency rises, EHB systems offer faster ROI and added property value, averaging a 6.9% price premium in 2025.
Market Dynamics and Future Trends
The market outlook for EHB is promising. Policy support from both federal and state governments is accelerating adoption. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, for instance, provides tax credits and rebates of up to $14,000 for residential clean energy installations. New Jersey's Energy Storage Incentive Program similarly aims to deploy 2,000 MW of storage by 2030 through performance-based funding. At the same time, advances in solar technology, battery chemistry, and smart controls continue to make EHB systems more capable and cost-effective.
Looking ahead, the report identifies several key trends. As households increasingly pursue energy autonomy, EHB solutions are becoming a necessity, especially for families reliant on powered medical devices or living in regions with unstable power infrastructure. Intelligent energy management is also evolving rapidly, with AI-powered systems optimizing energy consumption in real time and enabling predictive maintenance. Moreover, as solar energy, home batteries, and electric vehicle charging converge, EHB systems are forming the backbone of next-generation, integrated home energy ecosystems.
