Tigo Energy, Inc. announced that engineering leaders from Tigo will be at IESNA 2026 to preview a new, real-time active commissioning system designed to get installers to the next job faster, with more confidence, and with fewer service calls and repeat truck rolls. From basic solar-only systems to the most advanced home energy configurations, the new Tigo commissioning system supports installers at the job site through the entire installation process via the Tigo EI App, with real-time status reporting about all necessary processes and work steps. More than twenty core enhancements to the installation and commissioning process that make up the new Tigo system focus on helping to make solar installers more efficient.
Residential solar has transformed from traditional solar arrays to complex home energy systems. Storage adoption in the U.S. has surged, withachment rates quadrupling from 2020 to 2024 and a record 5.3 GW installed in third quarter 2025 alone. Similarly, home energy systems now frequently include components such as critical-load or whole-home battery systems, advanced energy management, EV charging, generator backup, and heat pumps. The new system, built into the Tigo EI Installer App, is designed to: Accelerate installation and commissioning by removing uncertainty, outlining system elements before installation, and guiding installers through all work steps.
Create confidence in system functionality during installation by providing clear verification that steps are complete and equipment is properly configured. Drastically reduce on-site rework as well as repeat truck rolls and service calls by delivering alerts if an error condition is detected during the installation process. Save installers 15-30 minutes per system using a picture of the system layout with module stickers to complete the registration process by bulk scanning installed MLPE.
