Tigo Energy has announced the latest additions to the Tigo Flex MLPE product family, the Tigo TS4-X line. Designed to serve both the commercial, industrial (C&I) and utility solar markets, Tigo TS4-X products support the latest high-power solar modules, up to 800W. Members of the TS4-X product family are compatible with Pure Signal technology in Tigo RSS transmitters and offer a Multi-Factor Rapid Shutdown (MFRS) option with redundant safety signaling for solar energy systems serving the food and pharmaceutical cold chain sectors, or other energy-critical applications. The new devices are combined with a list of third-party solar inverters to provide design and installation flexibility for solar installers and EPCs.
As Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) continues to drive the large-scale solar sectors, the TS4-X product line gives installers more freedom to deploy the modules that deliver the power and performance for their customer deployments and reduces labor costs without any costs . bolt design and no additional ground wiring is required. The new products are the TS4-XO with module-level optimization and advanced monitoring, the TS4-XS with advanced monitoring and the TS4-XF, which provides quick shutdown only, and all feature:
- 25A Isc value and 80 V maximum input voltage with plug-and-play support for all solar panels up to 800 W,
- new MFRS capabilities via wired PLC and wireless connections for redundant first responder safety and performance assurance in energy-critical applications,
- the option for selective use of optimizers,
- the best-in-class monitoring capability that can be upgraded on-site without the need for MLPE hardware replacement, and
- overcurrent and overtemperature protection for MLPE devices.
Tigo TS4-X MLPE devices are IEC and UL certified for worldwide acceptance and meet NEC 2017 and 2020 690.12 Rapid Shutdown specifications when installed with the Tigo RSS transmitter and UL PVRSS certified inverter or an inverter with a built-in Tigo-certified transmitter. Featuring a reliable frame mount that takes just 10 seconds to install, TS4-X devices feature industry-standard MC4 connectors with an IP68 enclosure rating for maximum durability.
“The installers operating at the cutting edge of solar are pushing the boundaries in system output and cost, and the TS4-X closes an important gap at the high end of the module performance spectrum,” said Jing Tian, Chief Executive Officer. Growth Officer at Tigo energy. “As the solar industry evolves, Tigo Energy remains at the forefront of delivering solutions that empower installers and developers. With safety, versatility and compatibility at its core, the TS4-X is an advancement in MLPE technology, in line with Tigo’s commitment to innovative software, total quality solar and customer satisfaction.”
Tigo TS4-X devices work seamlessly with previous TS4 Flex MLPE devices, Tigo Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) data logging devices and Tigo RSS transmitters, and are UL PVRSS certified with hundreds of inverter models to provide security, versatility and compatibility .
