Tigo Adds Two New Optimizers to UHD-Core Technology Platform

TS4-M and TS4-S now included in the solar industry’s highest
powered single module optimizer solution for modules up to 475W

LOS GATOS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#475W–Tigo®, pioneer of the smart modular Flex MLPE platform, today announced
the second worldwide release of its next generation of solar optimizers
featuring UHD-Core (Ultra-High Definition) technology: TS4-M
(Monitoring) and TS4-S (Safety). The UHD-Core TS4-M is the most cost
efficient MLPE monitoring device that provides the highest sampling rate
in the industry. The TS4-S adds to TS4-M’s functionality by providing
module-level deactivation capabilities. The TS4-M and TS4-S will join
Tigo’s existing UHD-Core optimizers, TS4-L (Long Strings) and TS4-O
(Optimization), announced last March.
This release completes Tigo’s TS4
platform featuring an enhanced design architecture and component rating.

Tigo TS4 optimizers with UHD-Core technology support more module types
than any other optimizer on the market for three reasons. First, the
maximum input voltage at standard testing conditions has improved to 90V
which allows for compatibility of modules with up to 96 cells. Second,
the maximum input current has increased to 12A which enables the use of
the highest efficiency and bifacial modules on the market. Third, the
power capacity has upgraded to 475W to support the world’s most powerful
modules. These enhanced electrical characteristics of the UHD-Core
technology result in higher energy harvest for any module up to 475W.

“The demand for our innovative UHD-Core technology in the TS4-L and
TS4-O optimizers was so impressive that we have expanded the offering to
include TS4-M and TS4-S,” said Zvi Alon, CEO of Tigo. “Our commercial
and utility customers will be pleased with lower O&M costs, safer
solutions, and expanded inventory. Now that our TS4 platform has the
highest accuracy in remote module-level monitoring, we plan to bring
more superior communication solutions to the market in the near future.”

This TS4 UHD-Core platform is fully monitored through Tigo’s Cloud
Connect Advanced (CCA)
data loggers with remotely upgradeable
firmware. The high definition sampling rate technology also allows the
highest accuracy remote monitoring of voltage and current available in
the market – including remote access to individual module information
(i.e. panel type, barcode, manufacturing origin, location, and
production date). All Tigo TS4 platform products are autonomous and
feature selective deployment. They can be fitted to new or existing
installations on any string or sub-string size, driving the optimization
cost as low as 2 cents per watt. They are compatible with most of Tigo’s
inverter partners and any module type including monocrystalline,
polycrystalline, thin-film, and bifacial.

Tigo’s TS4-M and TS4-S are shipping immediately as integrated
and retrofit/add-on
solutions. For price and delivery call +1.408.402.0802 ext. 1, email [email protected],
