Tigo Energy - Panel Optimisation

Description

The Tigo energy range of products are a revolutionary solution for harvesting the maximum power available from your PV array. The Tigo Solution extracts energy from each module, virtually eliminating the negative effect of weaker modules on the rest of the PV array. However, Tigo does so with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy, with very few incremental electronic components for maximum reliability and minimum cost.

The Tigo module can entirely eliminate hotspots, the main source of module failure, it corrects differences in module power such as: binning mismatch, shading mismatch, soiling mismatch and aging mismatch. This allows the system output to be increased by up to 20%.

Real-time Monitoring

Every Tigo module is independently monitored. This means that your system will alert you in real-time if it needs your attention. This powerful monitoring platform streamlines your operations and maintenance and your operational efficiency, helping you to reduce your soft costs of truck rolls, design, maintenance etc.

Safety

The PV safety function de-energizes the system for emergency and /or maintenance situations. This allows you to go up on the roof without exposure to high voltage and it enables emergency personnel to access your roof without any risks. This feature is compliant with new Rapid Shutdown requirements.

Installation

The Tigo module is already integrated into the JinkoSmart Module, however for non Jinko installations or retrofitting into existing PV systems, the Tigo module can be purchased as a separate component.
