Business Wire
As demand for solar in Costa Rica continues to
grow, Tigo works with PROINSO to bring solar safety and enhanced
efficiency to projects across the country.
Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) (“Tigo”), a leading provider of
intelligent solar and energy software solutions, today announced
its collaboration with PROINSO, a global solar developer and
equipment provider, to support solar installers in Costa Rica as
the NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown standard becomes a requirement in the
market. As the country’s solar market sees untapped potential while
maintaining a reputation as a leader in renewable energy
initiatives, ensuring compliance with this critical safety standard
is becoming increasingly vital for new photovoltaic (PV) projects.
Through this collaboration, PROINSO will continue to capitalize on
its market presence by providing high-quality energy products to
local solar companies, including the comprehensive range of Tigo
solutions that address solar rapid shutdown, module-level
monitoring, and optimization.
“We are excited to work with Tigo to help companies adopt the
NEC 690.12 in Costa Rica’s solar projects,” said Carlos Romero,
Co-Managing Director of PROINSO. “Our partnership with Tigo
highlights our shared vision to support the solar industry’s
expansion in Costa Rica as well as the rest of the territories in
LATAM adopting the RSD requirement while offering our customers
state-of-the-art Rapid Shutdown solutions that enhance safety and
performance.”
Implementing NEC 690.12 is part of a broader effort in Costa
Rica to improve solar energy safety by ensuring that solar systems
can swiftly be de-energized during emergencies within
installations. Tigo rapid shutdown solutions are designed to comply
with these standards, offering both reliability and ease of
integration for solar installers. The company’s cutting-edge
solutions are integral in meeting this requirement, offering
updated, state-of-the-art module-level power electronics (MLPE)
that feature compatibility with Tigo RSS Transmitters with Pure
Signal™ technology and offer a Multi-Factor Rapid Shutdown (MFRS)
option for redundant safety signaling in energy-critical
applications.
“Costa Rica’s commitment to advancing solar technology and
ensuring safety through standards like NEC 690.12 is commendable,”
said Marcia Cesare, LATAM director at Tigo. “We are proud to
support this initiative by providing cutting-edge solutions and
working closely with experienced allies like PROINSO to deliver
exceptional value to the solar community.”
Solar rapid shutdown requirements continue to roll out around
the world, and Costa Rica joins Brazil, the Czech Republic,
Slovenia, and 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). More than 10 million 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 2,124 inverter
models and are backed by some of the industry’s best warranty
terms.
