Homie

What Homie does

Homie is a U.S.-based home efficiency upgrade company that helps residential homeowners access affordable solar power installation and weatherization services by navigating government subsidies, rebates, and incentive programs on their behalf. The company positions itself as a consumer-facing intermediary that handles all eligibility paperwork, contractor matching, and project coordination, often enabling upgrades at zero out-of-pocket cost to qualifying households. Its two core product lines are Solar Power (photovoltaic installation services converting sunlight into home electricity) and Weatherization (air sealing, attic/basement/crawl-space insulation, ductwork sealing, ventilation upgrades, and moisture barrier installation to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality).

The company operates an asset-light model: it generates demand through a direct-to-consumer website featuring an eligibility checker and educational blog content, then delivers services through a vetted network of local contractors across the United States. A core financing partnership with Climate First Bank provides homeowners with credit options, bundling affordability into the upgrade package. Revenue is generated through professional service fees on installation work performed by the contractor network; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed because most costs are offset by government programs. The company's claimed customer outcome is a 65% reduction in hospital visits for asthma patients in weatherized households, citing public health co-benefits alongside energy savings.

Homie is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investor information, and a headcount of approximately 5 employees. The founding leadership team includes Travis Montaque (Chief Homie/Founder), Andrew Kraft (President & COO), Greg Schirripa (Chief Growth Officer, formerly at Greentech Media and The Arena Group), and William Watts (Head of Sales, formerly at Tesla, Trinity Solar, and Summit Solar). The website is governed by Florida law, suggesting a Florida base of operations, and the company targets U.S. residential homeowners at scale rather than enterprise or commercial customers.

Emerging players

• EnergySage: EnergySage is an online marketplace that connects homeowners with vetted solar and energy efficiency installers. It overlaps with Homie's customer-acquisition model by educating homeowners and facilitating comparison of energy upgrade options.
• Ygrene Energy Fund: Ygrene provides PACE financing for residential energy efficiency, solar, and resilience upgrades. It is comparable to the Climate First Bank partnership role that Homie relies on for accessible customer financing.

Direct peers

• BlocPower: BlocPower focuses on building decarbonization and weatherization retrofits, particularly in underserved urban markets. Similar to Homie, it leverages government subsidies and project financing to make energy upgrades affordable for property owners.
• PosiGen: PosiGen combines residential solar with energy efficiency services for low- and moderate-income households. Like Homie, it bundles solar and weatherization and specifically targets customers who qualify for government assistance programs.
• Sealed: Sealed is a home energy retrofit company that similarly bundles weatherization upgrades with financing and program access for homeowners. Both companies pursue integrated home efficiency services and rely on government/utility incentives to make upgrades accessible.

Broad incumbents

• SunPower: SunPower is a long-established residential solar company offering panels, roofing, and battery storage. It overlaps with Homie on the solar installation side, though Homie additionally bundles weatherization services into a single offering.
• Sunrun: Sunrun is the largest residential solar installer in the U.S., offering solar leases, PPAs, and battery storage. While primarily focused on solar, it overlaps with Homie's solar installation offering and competes for the same homeowner customer base.
• Tesla Energy: Tesla Energy offers residential solar roof, solar panels, and Powerwall batteries. As a broad incumbent in residential clean energy, it competes for the same solar customer segment Homie serves and benefits from significant brand recognition.
