Tigo TS4-A-O Intelligent Solar Optimizer: Performance and Safety

Optimize Your Photovoltaic Yield with Tigo TS4-A-O: Performance and Savings

Discover how Tigo TS4-A-O revolutionizes the optimization of your photovoltaic installations. This innovative solution offers unrivalled flexibility and targeted optimization, guaranteeing maximum energy production while reducing costs.

Key features

Flexible, targeted optimization

Every photovoltaic installation is unique. With the Tigo TS4-A-O, equip only those panels that require optimization, thus saving on costs. Ideal for partially shaded installations or complex configurations.

Operating principle

Power optimizers are installed on each panel to maximize the output of each panel by controlling the DC current before it reaches the central inverter.

Scenarios to avoid

• In installations where the panels are all homogeneously oriented and exposed, optimizers may not offer any noticeable benefit.
• For simple installations without shading or varied exposure conditions, the benefits of optimizers may be marginalized.

Typical user profile

• Users with installations where panels may be partially shaded or where sun exposure conditions are varied.
• Installations with panels oriented differently or at various inclinations.

Highlights

• Module-level monitoring
• Quick shutdown compliant with NEC 2014, 2017, and 2020 standards
• Production Optimization: Improves panel yield by optimizing production at the panel level, even if some panels are shaded.
• Lower Cost: Less expensive than microinverters because the central inverter is still used for DC/AC conversion.
• Less Frequent Maintenance: The centralized inverter reduces the need for rooftop maintenance.

Tigo TS4-A-O benefits

Detailed product description

Description

Optimization is a Flex MLPE function available as an add-on unit (TS4-A-O). Design using unequal chain lengths, mixed orientations or areas of mismatch. Install in shaded areas with a reduced setback ratio. In addition to optimization, the TS4-A-O provides module-level monitoring and fast shutdown in compliance with NEC 2014, 2017 and 2020.

Applications and uses

The Tigo TS4-A-O is perfect for a variety of installations, including residential, commercial and industrial systems. Whether your installation is partially shaded or features complex configurations, this device ensures optimum performance.

CURRENT DC OPTIMIZERS

• All solar panels must be equipped with an optimizer, whether or not this is necessary
• Rapidly incurs unnecessary high costs

SOLUTION FROM SMA AND TIGO

• Only the panels concerned (e.g. partial shading) need to be equipped with an optimizer
• Reduced investment costs
• Reduced installation costs
