The only vendor with Flex MLPE for inverters ranging from 3kW to 30kW.

Los Gatos, CA, June 28, 2017 - Tigo®, pioneer of the smart modular Flex MLPE platform, today announced its portfolio of international inverter partnerships has grown to more than 35 inverter-types that are now Rapid Shutdown certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

SMA was first to adopt Tigo's portfolio of Rapid Shutdown certified offerings. Additional commercial and residential inverter suppliers that also received the UL certification include ABB, Fronius, Ginlong Solis, Kaco, Sungrow, Yaskawa - Solectria Solar, and more. Inverters ranging from 3kW to 30kW are certified with Tigo's TS4 optimizers with UHD-Core technology and are shipping now. This brings the largest Rapid Shutdown solution offering with the widest adoption to market - providing Installers, EPC, and Owners the most cost-effective response to the NEC 2014 & 2017 code requirements.

"Customers looking for cost effective solutions that comply with strict safety regulations have a solution available. With Tigos UL Certification, our partners are exceeding these standards," said Zvi Alon, CEO of Tigo. "We are excited to add more brands to the most diverse portfolio of approved partners in the industry."

According to UL's certification Rapid Shutdown Systems requirements for Distributed Generation Power System Equipment, the rapid shutdown protection is intended to reduce potential hazards and limit exposure to energized PV wiring and equipment to allow emergency first responders to perform work outside the energized area of the PV array. Also, these high reliability PV rapid shutdown systems have a higher system fault tolerance and reliability to perform their intended function under foreseeable single-point component and system failures. Only systems found to comply with these additional functional safety requirements are marked "High Reliability PV Rapid Shutdown System."

Tigo is shipping its UL Certified UHD-Core offering worldwide as a module integrated, retrofit, with optimization, or standalone solution. For price and delivery call +1.408.402.0802 ext. 1, email sales@tigoenergy.com, or visit www.tigoenergy.com.
