Tigo Energy, the smart module market leader, today announced a strategic distribution partnership to meet the growing demand for Tigo optimized solutions in Australia. Solar Juice, the leading Australian distributor, will carry Tigo Energy’s retrofit optimizer product as well as smart modules optimized by Tigo, which is an optimizer embedded in the solar module junction box.
