The Future of Energy, Power and Smart Homes

The energy sector is facing major (and exciting) disruption in the coming years, and it's going to impact every single business, home and individual in meaningful ways.

We sat down with Aaron Jagdfeld, CEO of Generac (GNRC), a leading manufacturer of power solutions, to get his expert insights into innovations taking place in the energy ecosystem and the impact this will all have on consumers.

What does the energy company of tomorrow look like? Aaron gives us the 2 keys driving change in the energy sector.

Keep an eye out for new sources of energy, a decentralization of utilities, challenges with energy usage and storage (like how we make sure we can sustain the grid), and more power being given to the consumer.

Smart Homes
Every year, new technology becomes available that makes our homes smarter and more connected. A home's energy consumption plays a huge role in this - including where we get our power, how we store it, and how artificial intelligence and machine learning will automatically optimize our energy usage.

Aaron gives us his predictions for what the smart home of the future is going to be like, along with a preview of some incredible technologies Generac is investing in to enable this future to come to life.
