**Boston:** Schneider Electric partners with BayWa r.e. Solar Trade U.S. to boost availability of Schneider Home systems for solar installers across key US states, aiming to enhance integrated energy management solutions amid rising solar capacity and ongoing sector growth.
Strategic Collaboration to Enhance Schneider Home Availability for Solar Installers
BOSTON, May 1, 2025 — Schneider Electric has announced a strategic collaboration with BayWa r.e. Solar Trade U.S. aimed at increasing the availability of its Schneider Home product line for solar installers throughout the United States. According to the company’s press release, this partnership will streamline access to its energy management solutions, which integrate solar energy systems, battery storage, electric vehicle chargers, and smart home technologies.
BayWa r.e. Solar Trade U.S. will distribute the Schneider Home energy management system through its extensive network of installers. The system is designed to let homeowners manage various aspects of energy use from a single platform, consolidating solar panels, batteries, and smart devices.
Ken Lima, CEO of BayWa r.e.’s U.S. Solar Distribution business, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Schneider Electric into our network of suppliers. Their global expertise in energy management, resilience, and home efficiency aligns seamlessly with our vision of driving the transition to renewable energy.” Lima noted that the collaboration would provide customers with integrated solutions that enhance installation efficiency.
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association’s Q4 2024 Solar Market Insight Report, the U.S. solar sector installed 8.6 gigawatts of capacity in Q3 2024, marking a 21% increase year-on-year. The report projects a further 2% annual growth over the next five years.
The Schneider Home system, as described by the company, includes various products such as the Homeline and QO load centers, breakers, and wiring devices. This expansion aims to offer solar installers a competitive advantage by promoting a more comprehensive balance-of-system approach.
Jaser Faruq, Senior Vice President of Innovation at Schneider Electric, commented, “Working with BayWa r.e. Solar Trade represents a significant milestone for Schneider Home, as their extensive distribution network provides a powerful platform for our home-energy management solutions to reach a broader audience of solar installers nationwide.” Faruq claimed that Schneider’s products are already installed in four out of ten U.S. homes.
Industry analysts have cautioned, however, that while partnerships like this may increase accessibility and efficiency, the actual market penetration will depend on broader economic and policy factors impacting the renewable energy sector.
BayWa r.e. Solar Trade U.S. is noted as a preferred distributor of Schneider Home in states such as Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Texas.
