Tigo Energy, a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, announced a collaboration with Google Cloud to develop AI-enabled operational workflows for solar installers and distributed energy portfolios. By making core Tigo data and software products available through Google Cloud, Tigo aims to deliver faster deployment, simplified data integration, and additional insights with Gemini. The resulting workflows will help installers, asset managers, and energy operators more easily identify issues, prioritize actions, and automate routine operational tasks across growing fleets of distributed energy systems.
As solar and storage portfolios expand, energy businesses are increasingly responsible for managing more sites, more system data, and more customer interactions without a proportional increase in operational resources. Through collaboration with Google Cloud, Tigo is developing AI-assisted workflows to help operators move more efficiently from identifying system issues to taking action, including supporting diagnosis, prioritizing responses, and reducing manual steps in solar portfolio management and the energy business. Working with Google Cloud, those areas will help transition to AI-based SaaS platforms by deploying highly scalable, multi-tenant architectures that power automated grid diagnostics and cost optimization using advanced autonomous AI agents.
“By combining Tigo Energy's deep expertise in renewable energy and utility markets with Gemini, Tigo is giving customers intelligent agents that don't just monitor their energy systems, but autonomously detect anomalies, predict issues before they arise, and take action to optimize performance in real time,” said Raiford Smith, global market lead, Power & Energy, Google Cloud. “This effort will make these capabilities easier to deploy across distributed energy portfolios, helping utilities and commercial portfolio owners move more efficiently from insight to action with less manual intervention.”
With a focus on operational workflows spanning installer, asset, and power operations, Tigo products like Predict+ and the Energy Intelligence Platform already provide capabilities to centrally gather and analyze many diverse data streams to surface system issues, support troubleshooting, prioritize actions across customer portfolios, leverage data for energy arbitrage and assurance, and streamline routine customer interactions. For asset operations, like O&M for solar installers, the technology is designed to provide greater visibility into system health and performance across distributed portfolios. For power operations, Tigo provides energy forecasting and market intelligence capabilities that can support planning and decision-making as operators balance electricity supply, demand, renewable generation, and changing market conditions.
