Tigo's Modular TS4 platform

Tigo unveils modularity feature of TS4 platform

CALIFORNIA, September 9, 2015

Tigo Energy, a smart module market leader, has unveiled the modular feature of its dynamic TS4 platform, the world's first JBox platform to offer customers different functionalities, replacing the traditional JBox.
 
The TS4 platform will utilise two key components that are compatible with any PV module: the first component is a base integrated into the module at the factory and the second has been designed to host electronics supporting any MLPE functionality required, said a statement.
 
The installers of solar systems can purchase one module and adapt its functionality to any requirement by simply removing the cover and exchanging it for another without affecting the warranty, it said.
 
The exchanging covers is similar to a USB plug and play or a power socket in your home to which one can plug any appliance. The process occurs on site in the warehouse, or upgraded in the field as required. 
 
Tigo’s TS4 platform is offering five different functional covers, available immediately at different price points ($2 - $38). 
 
With an open-architecture system capable of being easily upgraded or modified at any time, customers are no longer required to purchase an expensive fully loaded optimiser, they can now choose and pay only for what they need with unparalleled flexibility in design. 
 
The five TS4 platform covers offered by Tigo includes diodes, safety, monitoring, optimisation, and long strings.
 
Jing Tian, head of global marketing at Trinasolar, said: “We were so taken by Tigo’s revolutionary modularity feature that we decided to base two of our own product lines on the approach – Trinaswitch based on TS4-S and Trinasmart based on TS4-L.
 
"Unlike other DC optimiser companies that require their expensive products to be installed on every module, our universal modular TS4 platform grants our customers the freedom to choose the solution they want and pay only for the functionality they need, guaranteeing them the greatest ROI."
 
Zvi Alon, Tigo's chief executive officer, said: "The modularity feature of our TS4 platform is a viable solution that can accommodate the needs of any system or budget. It is the first solution of its kind to provide manufacturers, installers, developers, integrators, EPCs, and homeowners alike, the economical flexibility of paying only for desired functionality without racking up the costs of installing a full-function optimiser on every module." - TradeArabia News Service
