“The Malaysian market has tremendous potential for solar, and we look forward to supporting this growth,” he said in a statement.

With rapid shutdown gaining significant attention in Malaysia and backing from fire safety organisations, the event aims to address the growing need for such systems. Tigo's collaboration with Solar Hive will showcase the Tigo TS4-X product line, which enables installers to use high-power modules up to 800 watts, suitable for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications.

This product incorporates Tigo’s patented technology and is compatible with 980 inverter models from 48 third-party brands. With its safety, monitoring, and optimisation features, the TS4-X series ensures efficiency and versatility for energy-critical sectors.

Guidelines on fire safety for rooftop solar installations in Malaysia, issued by the Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM), are paving the way for rapid shutdown requirements similar to those in the United States and increasingly adopted worldwide.

Tigo sees this as an opportunity to educate stakeholders on the value of these systems, helping to mitigate critical risks and enhance safety in rooftop solar installations. As a leader in module-level power electronics (MLPE), Tigo demonstrates how its solutions ensure compliance while improving safety and operational efficiency.

Also at the event, both companies will provide educational materials, including case studies from successful installations across Asia, along with hands-on training on rapid shutdown and monitoring technologies enabled by the Tigo Energy Intelligence platform to further advance Malaysia’s solar community.
