Tigo Targets High Power 700W PV Modules With Launch Of New TS4 DUO

Now shipping the newly expanded add-on / retrofit solution, TS4-R-X-Duo, in customized functions: O (Optimization), S (Safety), and M (Monitoring)

Los Gatos, CA, September 12, 2017 - Tigo®, pioneer of the smart modular Flex MLPE platform, today announced the launch of three new "Duo" covers to its TS4 add-on / retrofit solution: TS4-R-O-Duo (Optimization), TS4-R-S-Duo (Safety), and TS4-R-M-Duo (Monitoring). The TS4-R-X-Duo brings smart module functionality to standard PV modules, adds smart features to new PV installations, and upgrades underperforming PV assets. With UHD-Core technology and expanded specifications, the Duo supports two PV modules connected in series with a combined power of up to 700W and a combined voltage of up to 90V.

With a universal base and a range of covers containing flexible module-level power electronics (Flex MLPE), Tigo's Duo increases freedom of choice when selecting features for a particular project and budget. All three Duo covers work with any inverter and any module within its electrical specifications. This new addition is fully compatible with Tigo's current shipping products. Customers can design Smart PV Systems by mixing any of the TS4 products for the highest cost-efficiency. The Duo also supports Tigo's unique Selective Deployment capabilities. Both the TS4-R-O-Duo (Optimization) and TS4-R-S-Duo (Safety) are NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown compliant and pending approval by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
"Around the world, we have received requests for an add-on product that is optimized, safe, and monitored for commercial-sized products," says Zvi Alon, CEO at Tigo. "Now, we are meeting those demands with the most flexible MLPE which is also widely recognized in the market for the highest ROI."
Tigo's Duo provides PV systems with faster installation, integrated monitoring, 99.6% efficiency, compatibility with 60-cell modules, and module-level voltage shutdown. The Duo covers are shipping now. For price and delivery call +1.408.402.0802 ext. 1, email sales@tigoenergy.com, or visit www.tigoenergy.com.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
