NXP Semiconductors has announced a development partnership with Tata BP Solar India Ltd, a joint venture between BP Solar and Tata Power, under which Tata BP intends to use various electronic solutions for solar applications developed by NXP. These solutions have been developed by NXP as per the requirements of Tata BP.

The two companies have signed a letter of intent to roll out the electronic control products starting 2010. Both companies are looking at a long-term partnership that will see the development of a range of products.

K Subramanya, CEO of Tata BP Solar, said that given the high level of sunlight all over India, and in view of the country's ever-increasing power demands, solar power is an economically efficient and environmentally sustainable source of energy for India. He said the company plans to introduce these products to a substantial number of households over the next three to five years.
