Tigo Energy and BayWa r.e. Collaborate to Advance High-Wattage C&I Solar Deployment Across Southeast Asia at ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2025
Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO), a global leader in intelligent solar and energy software solutions, has announced a strategic collaboration with BayWa r.e., a prominent renewable energy developer and solutions provider, at the upcoming ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week (ASEW) 2025. The two companies will co-exhibit at booth F11 from July 2 to 4 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok, Thailand, showcasing the future of Commercial and Industrial (C&I) solar technology in Southeast Asia.
This joint presence reflects a shared commitment to accelerating the adoption of high-performance solar technology in a region that continues to experience robust growth in renewable energy adoption. The ASEAN region—particularly Thailand—is increasingly investing in solar power to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and enhance energy security. In this context, the two companies will highlight the deployment of advanced high-wattage solar modules, integration of rapid shutdown compliance, and implementation of the Tigo Total Quality Solar (TQS) philosophy to ensure long-term performance and safety.
Supporting High-Irradiance C&I Solar Projects in Southeast Asia
As C&I solar projects expand across Southeast Asia—where irradiance levels regularly exceed 1000W/m²—system reliability, safety, and performance optimization are becoming critical success factors. Tigo’s TS4-X product family of module-level power electronics (MLPE) is engineered specifically for these demanding conditions. The TS4-X lineup provides advanced optimization, real-time monitoring, and rapid shutdown capabilities, ensuring that high-wattage and bifacial solar modules can deliver peak efficiency even in challenging climates marked by heat and humidity.
These devices offer a number of benefits that are particularly relevant to installers and EPCs operating in tropical and equatorial climates:
- Support for high-wattage modules: As the solar industry continues its trend toward higher-output modules, the TS4-X family ensures these technologies can be safely and efficiently integrated into rooftop and ground-mounted C&I systems.
- Compatibility with bifacial modules: With their increased energy yield from rear-side irradiance, bifacial panels are becoming increasingly popular in Southeast Asia. TS4-X optimizers help capture these gains while maintaining system balance.
- Labor-saving installation design: A no-bolt, tool-free mounting system and no need for additional ground wiring significantly reduce installation time and complexity.
- Inverter-agnostic flexibility: Tigo MLPE devices are certified to work with a broad range of leading third-party inverters, giving installers maximum design flexibility and reducing system integration challenges.
These innovations support the industry’s ongoing efforts to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), a crucial metric for solar project ROI and competitiveness.
Adapting to New Rapid Shutdown Requirements
Thailand and several other ASEAN nations are in the process of updating safety codes and enforcement mechanisms for solar PV installations, including mandatory rapid shutdown systems for certain applications. Tigo’s TS4-X products are compliant with international safety standards and offer an effective way for EPCs and system integrators to meet emerging regulatory demands without sacrificing design efficiency or increasing operational risk.
At the trade show, Tigo specialists will be available to educate attendees on how to navigate evolving regulatory landscapes and implement compliant systems that also deliver high performance and reliability.
BayWa r.e.’s Regional Commitment to Quality and Safety
BayWa r.e., a well-established solar distributor and project enabler in Southeast Asia, has played a key role in shaping the region’s solar growth by offering reliable, top-tier technologies. The company’s collaboration with Tigo underscores its commitment to delivering safe, high-quality, and high-yielding solar solutions that protect customer investments while supporting long-term sustainability.
“Thailand’s rooftop solar market is growing rapidly, and so is the demand for safer, smarter systems,” said Junrhey Castro, Managing Director at BayWa r.e. Solar Systems. “As a regional distributor, we’re committed to supporting this growth with reliable solutions that protect both the performance and investment of our customers. Having Tigo in our product portfolio reflects our focus on quality and innovation for solar professionals across Thailand and Southeast Asia.”
BayWa r.e.’s strong network of local partners and understanding of market dynamics enables it to provide value-added services, from system design consultation to after-sales technical support, ensuring the successful deployment of advanced technologies like the TS4-X.
Tigo Green Glove Program: Enhancing the C&I Installer Experience
During ASEW 2025, Tigo will also highlight its Green Glove service program, a premium offering designed to support commercial and industrial solar system installers through every phase of the installation lifecycle. Installers visiting the BayWa r.e. booth will have the opportunity to enroll in this program, which delivers high-touch support to improve the quality and efficiency of deployments.
The Green Glove program includes:
- Pre-installation consultation: Tigo engineers collaborate with the installer to validate system design, ensuring optimal component selection and layout.
- On-site commissioning support: Tigo offers remote or on-site guidance during system commissioning, helping to ensure proper configuration and performance optimization.
- Post-installation review and feedback: Tigo’s support team reviews performance data to verify system health and provide suggestions for future improvements.
This structured approach ensures that C&I solar installations meet Tigo’s Total Quality Solar (TQS) standards, minimizing the risk of performance issues while maximizing return on investment for customers.
Driving Down LCOE, Increasing Total Quality Solar
“Our collaboration with BayWa r.e. is a model for how global technology providers and local distribution leaders can come together to raise the standard for solar energy deployment,” said Jing Tian, Chief Growth and Revenue Officer at Tigo Energy. “With growing irradiance challenges and increasing module wattages, it’s critical that the industry adopts technologies and processes that deliver both performance and compliance. The TS4-X MLPE family is designed to meet these needs head-on. And with the Green Glove program, we’re making sure that installers can deploy these solutions with confidence and long-term support.”
Tian emphasized that in regions like Southeast Asia—where heat and solar exposure are intense—Tigo’s MLPE solutions offer both protection and performance gains, helping to push down the LCOE while reinforcing long-term asset reliability.
