Description
Enhance your system yield by adding Tigo power modules to only the modules that are affected by shading. Perfect as a low-investment option for getting the most from a roof.
The Tigo solution comes in two varieties depending on what functionality you need: monitoring only, or full optimisation. The products can be deployed either on individual modules or on the complete system.
The TS4-R-X-Duo is an add-on or retrofit solution that brings smart module functionality to standard PV modules, adds smart features to new PV installations, or upgrades underperforming systems. The Duo cover with UHD-Core technology and expanded specifications supports two PV modules connected in series with a combined power of up to 700W. With a universal base and a range of covers containing the Flex MLPE, TS4-R-(M or O)-Duo increases your freedom of choice when selecting features for a particular project and budget.
The TS4-R-O-DUO optimisers are connected to the Tigo portal using optional Gateway and Cloud Connect units.
Please note currently only Optimised version is available.
Applications for Tigo optimisers: For residential systems where you have only 1 string per MPPT you can have 1 or more optimisers in a string – it is possible to optimise a couple of shaded panels and have a very cost effective increase in yield. This is not possible if you have 2 parallel strings into a single MPPT. For commercial systems where you have 2 strings per MPPT you MUST have an optimiser on all the panels into the same MPPT. i.e. you cannot have paralleled strings which are selectively optimised. For example, this means you can have optimisers on just 1 of the 4 MPPT's with a quad tracker inverter provided that all modules on the tracker have optimisers

PLEASE NOTE THE MAXIMUM VOLTAGE OF MODULES CONNECTED TO THIS OPTIMISER CAN NOT EXCEED 75V IN TOTAL, WHICH MEANS THE SINGLE MODULE Voc (at STC as per datasheet) CAN NOT EXCEED 37.5V.
