Exel Solar is the largest PV Wholesaler in Mexico providing installers constant training and support while offering the most innovative products online and financial services in the market. Last week Exel introduced Tigos TS4 platform to the top 150 installers in Mexicos solar industry. Exels CEO Horacio Duhart commented on the partnership, "We are aware of competing products, but once we saw the revolutionary selective deployment feature of Tigos TS4 platform we knew that Tigo is the next big thing."

Duhart went on to add, "The Tigo TS4 platform makes possible the use of different MLPE functionalities on the same string. We utilized this feature in a recent project that is exceeding our expectations and making us proud to offer our customers a product we know first-hand will deliver the reliability and bankability it promises."

Having just debuted their partnership with Tigo, Exel has already purchased an inventory of 2.5 MW worth of Tigo-powered TS4-L Smart Modules from several leading PV module manufacturers, including: Trina, ET, and Perlight.

Each TS4 platform comprises a universal base that latches onto one of five detachable covers incorporating different functionalities. The first five TS4 covers offered by Tigo include the following functionalities:

* TS4-D (Diode): Most reliable standard JBox dissipating heat away from the module, easily upgraded
* TS4-M (Monitoring): Enhanced operation and management via module-level communication
* TS4-S (Safety): Rapid shutdown compliant via module-level deactivation, includes Monitoring capabilities
* TS4-O (Optimization) Shade and age tolerance for advanced energy harvesting, includes Monitoring and Safety capabilities
* TS4-L (Longer Strings) Increased string length up to 30% via reduced voltage of each module, includes Monitoring, Safety, and Optimization capabilities

All five covers can be mixed, matched, and interchanged according to desired functionality at any point in time. Tigos TS4 offers the most practical evolution of module-level-power-electronics, setting the industry standard in design and flexibility.

"We are excited that Exel has chosen to work exclusively with Tigo in offering the Mexican market any required function of MLPE, including DC optimizer solutions that can meet maximum harvest at greatest ROI needs," said Zvi Alon, Chairman and CEO of Tigo.
