Tigo Energy and BayWa r.e.Partner to Advance C&I Solar Solutions in Thailand
A new collaboration aims to optimize performance, enhance safety, and reduce costs for commercial and industrial solar installations in the rapidly growing Thai market.
Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) and BayWa r.e. are joining forces to deliver advanced optimization, monitoring, and rapid shutdown solutions for commercial and industrial (C&I) solar projects in Thailand. The partnership, announced ahead of the ASEAN Enduring Energy Week 2025, scheduled for July 2-4 at the QSNCC in Bangkok, underscores a commitment to addressing the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the region’s expanding solar sector.
the collaboration will be showcased at booth F11 during the trade show, where Tigo will focus on supporting C&I solar installers and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) specialists as new rapid shutdown requirements take effect.A key focus will be deploying high-wattage modules in regions wiht high solar irradiance and ensuring “Total Quality Solar” (TQS) through Tigo’s comprehensive service programs.
What are Rapid Shutdown Requirements?
Rapid shutdown is a safety feature that quickly reduces voltage in solar arrays, minimizing the risk of electrical shock to frist responders during emergencies. Learn more about NEC requirements and how Tigo solutions comply.
Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, presents unique conditions for solar energy – hot, humid climates and high levels of solar irradiance exceeding 1000W/m2. To address these conditions, Tigo’s Ts4-X Family of Module level Power Electronics (MLPE) devices offer optimization, monitoring, and safety features specifically designed for high-wattage modules, including those utilizing bifacial technology. According to the company, the TS4-X line reduces labour costs with a no-bolt design and eliminates the need for additional ground wiring, ultimately contributing to a lower Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) for large-scale solar projects. These devices are also compatible with a wide range of third-party inverters, providing adaptability for installers and EPCs.
Understanding LCOE
Levelized cost of Energy (LCOE) is a metric that represents the total cost of a solar project divided by the total energy produced over its lifetime. Lower LCOE means more affordable solar energy.
“Thailand’s rooftop solar market is growing rapidly and so is the demand for safer, smarter systems,” stated 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.”
Beyond product offerings, Tigo will leverage the ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week to promote its green Glove service program. This premium support experience is tailored for C&I system installers, aiming to enhance the installation process and improve quality throughout the solar value chain with formalized support engagements before, during, and after project completion.

“Strong collaboration between global companies like BayWa r.e. and tigo is part of what makes the solar ecosystem work for more installers and EPCs around the world,” saeid Jing Tian, chief growth and revenue officer at Tigo Energy. “As with many of the pro-solar nations in Asia, we believe that products like the TS4-X and programs like Green glove make great strides in further driving LCOE down, and Total Quality Solar up, respectively. In regions with higher-than-normal irradiance values in particular, these dynamics benefit the entire industry, from equipment manufacturer to installer, and on to the operators and asset owners.”
Attendees of ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2025 are encouraged to visit BayWa r.e. and Tigo at booth F11 from July 2-4 at the QSNCC in Bangkok, Thailand. Interested parties can register their interest for a meeting with a Tigo specialist [here](link to registration).
