“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.
