TIGO
Tigo is a Silicon Valley company founded in 2007 by a team of experienced technologists. Combining a unique system-level approach with expertise in semiconductors, power electronics, and solar energy, they developed the first-generation Smart Module Optimiser technology for the solar industry.
Tigo’s mission is to deliver smart PV solutions by increasing safety, maximizing energy harvest, and ensuring long-term visibility for customers’ returns on investments.
THEIR INNOVATIONS
Tigo pioneered the flexible module-level power electronics (Flex MLPE) architecture within the MLPE market as a cornerstone of the PV industry’s effort to convert every PV module to the IoT (Internet of things). After years of research, development, testing, and certification, Tigo brought the revolutionary TS4 platform to market. Known as the smartest module MLPE, the TS4 platform products fully support the Flex MLPE architecture.
Unlike other optimised systems, one of the biggest advantages of Tigo’s modular TS4 platform is that it can be selectively deployed. If only part of an array requires optimisation, perhaps because of partial shading, then only optimise the affected modules, helping to keep initial costs down. Tigo’s TS4 offers different functionalities per module utilising Predictive IV (PIV) technology to maximize energy harvest at a minimal cost.
