SolaX Power works with Tigo Energy in
Brazil to provide comprehensive rapid shutdown and arc fault
solutions to comply with new safety standards.
Tigo Energy, Inc. (“Tigo” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
TYGO), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy
storage solutions, today announced its continued progress in
bringing rapid shutdown technology to solar installers in Brazil.
SolaX Power, a solar inverter and battery manufacturing company, is
the latest company in Brazil to leverage Tigo Energy for advanced
solar safety and design support since the safety technology was
codified into a requirement by the state of Minas Gerais.
Reliable rapid shutdown functionality is essential to providing
fire safety for system owners, firefighters, and first responders,
who can more safely perform their work without the risk of
encountering high-voltage DC electricity from solar components. The
Tigo TS4 platform maximizes the benefit of PV systems for
installers on all continents. With a range from less than 10kW to
more than 10MW in size and installation in less than ten seconds
per module, Tigo has a trusted and reliable product portfolio
deployed around the world, from rapid shutdown to module-level
monitoring and advanced energy optimization.
"SolaX Power has been developing solutions for the solar market
for over a decade, serving our customers with high-quality
products, and Tigo MLPE devices complement our solutions with their
safety technologies,” said Gilberto Camargos, Brazil manager at
SolaX Power. “We are confident in having Tigo on our side as rapid
shutdown safety technology and AFCI protection begins to become a
requirement throughout Brazil. Our inverters are fully compatible
with Tigo MLPE technology, so our installers can easily add rapid
shutdown to their systems.”
The technical standard for rapid shutdown in Minas Gerais is
defined in Fire Department technical instruction No. 30/2022,
Electrical Installations and Equipment: Substations, Photovoltaic
Panels and Power Generator Groups. This standard mandates safety
technology like rapid shutdown devices and AFCI equipment for solar
systems on buildings, including single-family homes.
“As initiatives by firefighting authorities across Brazil
continue to secure the codification of rapid shutdown and AFCI
rules, solar installers now have free reign to clear a significant
backlog of pent-up demand for solar,” said Manoel Monteiro, sales
and marketing manager Latam at Tigo Energy. “The initial demand for
solar rapid shutdown in Brazil came to us from the firefighting
community, which had become increasingly concerned about the
dangers of high-voltage solar cable runs. Since that time, we have
been active in safety training, and we are delighted to be able to
help installers and hardware companies like SolaX all across Brazil
ensure that their customers’ systems are compliant with the new
safety rules.”
As rapid shutdown requirements roll out regionally across
Brazil, the country joins Slovenia, the Czech Republic, as well as
34 other nations in enacting mandates for solar safety technology.
Increasingly also required by global companies for offshore
building sites and by insurance companies, rapid shutdown allows PV
solar systems to be rapidly de-energized during emergencies or
maintenance. To meet the growing number of regulatory requirements
around the world, 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, as well as the rapid shutdown
requirements of the U.S National Electric Code (NEC). Millions of
Tigo MLPE products are installed worldwide and provide optimized,
monitored, and safe solar to protect critical solar energy
infrastructure. Current generation Tigo TS4 MLPE devices are
certified to work with 1,634 inverter models and are backed by some
of the industry’s best warranty terms.
