Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) has announced that Halifax-based Stanton Solar has achieved the Advanced tier of the Tigo Installer Loyalty Program. This milestone positions the Canadian firm as the top Tigo installer in Canada and places it within the top ten highest-volume installers across North America. The recognition highlights a growing integration of intelligent solar software and module-level power electronics (MLPE) within the Canadian residential and commercial markets.
Stanton Solar Deployment and Canadian Leadership
Stanton Solar, headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia, specializes in photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems for both residential and commercial sectors. The company currently manages nearly 5MW of monitored Tigo systems. To achieve this scale, Stanton Solar has deployed thousands of TS4 MLPE devices in the field. Their installations include a variety of configurations, ranging from standalone module-level monitoring to complete residential solutions incorporating inverters and batteries. By utilizing Tigo’s technology, the installer aims to provide high-performing, reliable energy systems that allow for long-term performance oversight. This volume of deployment signals a significant footprint for Tigo’s hardware and software ecosystem within the Canadian solar infrastructure landscape.
Tigo Installer Loyalty Program Structure
The Tigo Installer Loyalty Program is designed to scale benefits alongside an installation company's growth. The program is organized into three distinct tiers: Certified, Advanced, and Elite. To progress through these levels, installers must meet specific training requirements and achieve defined installation goals. These milestones grant incremental business and support benefits, fostering closer collaboration between the manufacturer and the installer. Stanton Solar’s advancement to the Advanced tier was supported by the Tigo Green Glove service program, which provides engineering and installation insights. According to Tigo Energy’s Chief Growth and Revenue Officer, Jing Tian, these programs are intended to improve system quality and strengthen the long-term relationships between installers and their end customers.
