February 12, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Tigo Energy, Inc. engineering leaders will preview a new, real-time active commissioning system at IESNA 2026, the company announced today. The system is designed to help installers complete jobs faster, with more confidence, and with fewer service calls.
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. It supports basic solar-only systems to advanced home energy configurations.
The Tigo system includes more than twenty core enhancements to the installation and commissioning process. Residential solar has transformed from traditional solar arrays to complex home energy systems. Storage adoption in the U.S. has surged, with attachment rates quadrupling from 2020 to 2024 and a record 5.3 GW installed in Q3 2025 alone. 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
Placer Solar Solutions, Inc. CEO Joshua Kozub said that Tigo has gone from paper installation guides to software that works with installers every step of the way, mirroring exactly how a system comes together in the field, and this sets Tigo apart from its competitors. He added that they now not only get to see exactly when a certain step in the process is complete, but they also know that everything is working as it should be before moving on to the next step, and that the digital magic all happens locally without needing an internet connection anymore.
Tigo Energy Vice President of Software Archie Roboostoff said that the company fundamentally innovated the entire workflow and real-time feedback capabilities, improving the efficiency of the work installers do. He added that as a result of the growth of the installer base, the company has been able to accelerate and broaden what they learn out in the field to optimize everything from the speed of installation to verifying that everything is working as expected, right on the customer site. By giving Tigo installers this level of insight, they can be more efficient, deliver higher quality the first time around, and operate independently of tactical support.
Members of the Tigo engineering team will be on hand at the IESNA Flagship (Intersolar) tradeshow, from February 18-20, in San Diego, Calif., to provide a sneak peek of the real-time active commissioning system. Tigo TS4-X Flex MLPE products will also be featured at the Solar Games, which will run throughout the three-day event. For product availability and general inquiries, please contact Tigo sales.
