Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) (“Tigo” or “Company”), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, today announced that it has reached a multi-year settlement with SMA (SMA Solar Technology AG and SMA Solar Technology America LLC) over litigation regarding the infringement of Tigo intellectual property by SMA. The settlement concludes the infringement complaint brought by Tigo on July 11, 2022, Case No. 1:22-cv-00915 (D. Del.) alleging infringement of certain patents by SMA. Terms of the settlement will remain undisclosed.  

According to National Electric Code § 690.12, “Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings” requires that PV system circuits “installed on or in buildings shall include a rapid shutdown function to reduce shock hazard for emergency responders.” 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, and rapid shutdown requirements of the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC). Tigo is a leader in rapid shutdown technology and MLPE, with more than 150 patents granted or pending. The Company actively licenses its patents to other solar equipment providers and has repeatedly prevailed in patent disputes.  

“The ability of companies that invest in research and development to protect and defend their intellectual property is central to the spirit of innovation that makes companies competitive,” said Zvi Alon, CEO at Tigo Energy. “This settlement is a welcome step that reinforces the validity of Tigo intellectual property that underpins our world-class technology.”  

Since 2007, solar installers have deployed millions of Tigo MLPE devices in more than one hundred countries on all seven continents, of which Tigo Energy Intelligence monitors an average of 2.3GWh daily solar production. Tigo MLPE products provide optimization, monitoring, and rapid shutdown to help protect critical solar energy infrastructure and deliver reliability and consistent ROI.
