Tigo Energy files lawsuit against Zhejiang Benyi for rapid shutdown copyright infringement-News-Solar Business Builder

Electronics manufacturer Tigo Energy has filed a lawsuit against the Zhejiang Benyi New Energy Company, for allegedly infringing on a rapid shutdown technology patent.

The lawsuit was filed by the company’s Chinese affiliate, Tigo Energy Equipment Trading, and alleges that Zhejiang has infringed on its patent number 200880114564.0. This patent pertains to a switch that can be installed into a solar panel to connect a PV cell to the rest of the machinery, which can be triggered to disconnect the cell from the panel during installation. This would prevent a high voltage from being discharged through the module during installation, protecting those working on installing the panel.
