MidNite Solar agrees to license Tigo rapid shutdown tech
MidNite Solar Inc., a manufacturer of inverters and various electronic balance of system products, has licensed rapid shutdown technology from Tigo for its module-level products (MLPE). Under the agreement, MidNite Solar products are authorized to use the technologies described in Tigo rapid-shutdown and optimization patents.
Tigo has more than 150 patents granted or pending in the MLPE space, and actively licenses its patented technology to other solar equipment manufacturers after winning key issues in multiple patent disputes.
Tigo rapid shutdown technology is compliant with UL 1741, the Standard for Safety for Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use With Distributed Energy Resources, IEC 63257, the SunSpec rapid shutdown specification, and rapid shutdown requirements of the U.S National Electric Code (NEC).
“Driving the state-of-the-art forward is fundamental to the success of the solar industry, and I am delighted to see MidNite Solar continue to expand its portfolio with products focused on safety and optimization,” said Zvi Alon, chairman and CEO at Tigo Energy. “Tigo continues to invest in research and development, drive innovation, and deliver safe and reliable solutions for the solar industry. Our patents are the manifestation of this investment, and we offer reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing terms to companies in the industry.”
