Tigo Energy, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, has announced that Delta Networks, a global provider of power and thermal management solutions, has licensed Tigo’s rapid shutdown technology for its rapid shutdown products. This agreement grants Delta the right to use technologies covered by several Tigo patents related to rapid shutdown, enhancing the safety features of Delta’s solar solutions. Tigo is a recognized leader in rapid shutdown technology and Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE), with over 150 patents granted or pending. The company actively licenses its patented technology to other solar equipment manufacturers and has successfully defended its intellectual property in multiple patent disputes.
Zvi Alon, chairman and CEO at Tigo, stated, “We are delighted to see Delta join the growing group of forward-thinking companies that recognize the importance of innovation and safety in the solar industry. This license agreement reinforces our commitment to advancing solar energy with cutting-edge solutions that prioritize safety, reliability, and performance. We look forward to expanding the reach of our patented technologies, driving progress, and creating greater value for solar installers and system owners worldwide.”
Tigo’s rapid shutdown technology complies with key safety standards, including UL 1741 — the Standard for Safety for Inverters, Converters, Controllers, and Interconnection System Equipment for Use With Distributed Energy Resources — as well as IEC 63257 and the rapid shutdown requirements outlined in the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC). Today, millions of Tigo MLPE products are deployed worldwide, providing optimized performance, real-time monitoring, and enhanced safety. These solutions help protect critical solar energy infrastructure while delivering reliable returns on investment throughout the lifetime of renewable energy systems.
