Solar energy and high-voltage batteries were once exceptions to how people received and used the energy powering their homes and cars. Today, however, these technologies are becoming more prevalent than ever, while also being smarter and more efficient.

“In about 10 years, solar energy will be the largest source of energy for much of the world,” said Henrik Mannesson, general manager for Grid Infrastructure at our company. “We’re now undergoing an energy transition that’s completely changing how we generate, consume and store energy.”

Henrik and other TI experts recently held a roundtable explaining challenges and trends at the heart of this ongoing energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the importance of energy interoperability and how our technology plays a key role.

“We’re working hard to make sure that as we move forward, we get more energy more sustainably and at lower costs from new technologies, while also making them more reliable and safer,” said Kannan Soundarapandian, vice president and general manager for High-Voltage Power.
