TCL showcases smart energy solutions at IFA 2026

At the 2026 International Consumer Electronics Fair (IFA) in Berlin, TCL Industries and TCL Technology showcased a comprehensive vision for the future of smart living, focusing on energy management and sustainable technologies. Under the theme "Inspiration Habitat," the company presented an immersive exhibition space designed to demonstrate how its expertise in smart devices, display technology, and clean energy can transform homes into smarter, more connected, and more sustainable living spaces.

TCL highlighted the growing importance of smart energy management within the connected-home experience. By integrating solar generation, battery storage, appliances, and smart-home technologies, the company offered a holistic approach to how energy is produced, managed, and consumed in everyday life. This integration forms a complete home energy ecosystem that TCL believes can help create smarter, more connected, and more sustainable homes.

The TCL Inspiration Habitat, located in Hall 21A at Messe Berlin, featured the latest residential energy solutions from SunPower Home Energy and TCL Smart Home. These included new SunPower Origin back-contact panels, TCL T5 Pro TOPCon shingled and C2 back-contact panels, residential battery storage systems, and heat pumps. An intelligent Home Energy Management System was also on display, connecting energy generation, storage, heating, and household demand through a single platform. This system provided homeowners with greater visibility and control over energy optimization, enabling more sustainable living.

Valentina Maggiore, Vice President of Marketing at TCL SunPower, noted that the company’s energy vision is unique because it extends beyond the home. "We don't just develop energy technologies; we deploy them at scale across our own manufacturing operations," she said. "In 2025, renewable energy sources, including green electricity and self-generated solar power, accounted for 11.7% of TCL Industries' energy consumption. Running large-scale solar and storage in our factories has given us practical insights that help us turn our operational experience into more reliable residential solutions."

This approach aligns with TCL's broader strategy of connecting advanced manufacturing, operational environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, and smart technologies with practical solutions for consumers. The journey from industrial innovation to life at home is now more seamless, thanks to TCL's extensive experience and commitment to sustainability.
