Tigo Energy, Inc., the solar industry worldwide leader in Flex-MLPE (Module Level Power Electronics), announced that it has reached a settlement with Altenergy Power Systems (“APsystems”) over a lawsuit regarding the infringement of Tigo’s intellectual property by APsystems. As part of the settlement, APsystems obtain a license to use Tigo’s rapid shutdown technology.
“Ultimately, we believe this arrangement is a win for PV customers everywhere,” stated Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo. “I want to thank APsystems for recognizing our intellectual property and arriving at an outcome that works for all parties involved.”
Tigo endorses the need to provide customers alternative solutions and will cooperate with APsystems to continue the development of leading edge solutions. Tigo’s complaint included six patents related to various systems and methods used in the PV module rapid shutdown unit applicable to both the Rapid Shutdown device as well as the Rapid Shutdown transmitter. These are the same patents that Tigo disclosed to the Sunspec Alliance in 2017.
Terms of the license agreement are not disclosed and include APsystems legal entities in the US as well as in China. Inquiries are welcome and can be sent to marketing@tigoenergy.com.

Carta Launches Carta Law with Acquisition of Avantia13.5.2026 14:01:00 EEST | Press release
Carta, the agentic enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform for private capital, today announced it has acquired Avantia, a leading AI-powered legal and compliance law firm for asset managers. The acquisition launches Carta Law—the largest AI-native, integrated legal and compliance solution for private markets—unifying legal and compliance workflows with fund operations on a single platform.

Limited partner onboarding to new funds is delayed by KYC backlogs. General counsels lose visibility into legal spend or institutional precedent. As deal velocity increases and regulatory complexity grows, this fragmentation becomes a competitive disadvantage and operational barrier for funds. With the acquisition of Avantia and the introduction of Carta Law, the industry will have a single-platform soluti
