The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound and rapid transformation. By 2030, renewable energy generation is expected to exceed 17,000 terawatt-hours—an almost 90% increase over 2023 levels. Clearly, renewable energy is no longer a distant vision of the future; it’s here now, growing and evolving fast. As the world scales up renewables, accelerates electrification, and advances automation, semiconductor technology becomes the critical enabler driving this transition.
At Texas Instruments (TI), our mission is to make electronics more accessible and affordable through semiconductors that power everyday innovations. That same passion extends to the renewable energy movement—from solar panels that light up homes to EV chargers mounted on walls for a daily commute recharge.
Across the entire energy ecosystem, TI semiconductors are expanding the possibilities for renewable energy by delivering reliable, secure, and scalable power in three key areas: solar energy generation, energy storage, and edge-based intelligent automation.
1. Smarter, Smaller, and More Efficient Solar Energy
As solar power adoption expands, the focus is shifting beyond just generating electricity to making systems more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective. Meeting these demands requires compact, precise, and easy-to-install solar inverters—without sacrificing performance.
Power management ICs and DC/DC converters help condition and optimize the energy captured by solar panels. Analog sensors and embedded processors enable real-time monitoring and seamless integration into smart grids, enhancing energy responsiveness and control.
Wide-bandgap materials like Gallium Nitride (GaN) are making a significant impact in solar applications. TI’s GaN-based FETs offer higher switching speeds and power density, allowing engineers to design smaller, more efficient inverters. The result: reduced energy loss, simplified system design, and more affordable solar technologies.
From rooftop panels to energy storage and EV charging, these semiconductor advancements are helping designers create more scalable and intelligent systems that support the shift to renewables and greater energy efficiency.
2. Adaptive, Intelligent, and Safe Energy Storage
Energy storage plays a pivotal role in stabilizing modern power grids and meeting rising electrification demands. As renewable generation scales and becomes more distributed, storage systems must be able to respond to real-time condit
Analog semiconductors are essential f
For example, battery management systems (BMS) rely on high-precision analog components to monitor voltage, temperature, and current in every cell. These accurate measurements help prevent thermal runaway, extend battery lifespan, and ensure the safe operation of residential and utility-scale storage installations.
3. Enabling Grid Intelligence at the Edge
Embedded processing has become the backbone of smarter, more connected energy systems—particularly at the grid edge, where energy is generated, stored, and consumed by decentralized sources like rooftop solar or EV chargers.
In today’s dynamic energy environment, waiting for cloud-based decisions is no longer viable. Immediate local response is essential to handle voltage dips, surges in demand, or weather disruptions. This is where edge AI becomes foundational to modern energy infrastructure.
By embedding AI processing directly into grid-edge devices, TI’s semiconductors act as the brains of these systems. Engineers can build platforms that analyze data, detect anomalies, and make decisions in real-time—without relying on cloud connectivity. This improves fault detection, enhances load balancing, and increases system autonomy, whether in transformers, smart meters, or distributed energy assets.
Edge intelligence also plays a key role in enhancing grid resilience. In distributed grid models, where energy generation and consumption span thousands of nodes, each point must be capable of self-awareness and adaptive control. TI’s embedded processors and analog front-ends enable features like voltage sensing, automated control, and real-time load adjustment, delivering dynamic responses at the hardware level.
Additionally, our connectivity and processing solutions support accurate energy usage data collection from smart meters. This helps utility providers better manage consumption, improve awareness among consumers, and shift energy usage to periods of greater grid availability.
The Future Is Powered by Semiconductors
As the world transitions to cleaner, more distributed energy systems, semiconductors are not just supporting the change—they are enabling it. TI’s innovative technologies are empowering engineers and developers to build the smarter, more sustainable energy systems of tomorrow, today.
