This described for me what I needed, and what Tigo's own info could not. Great!

Just don’t ever try and use the doubles on a flush mount installation. Wire management is impossible, esp. with having to plug in both panels before the string.

Nicely done. I'm still learning about solar systems and this is an important area that I was not aware of. Thank you for the demonstration.

Hi I’m about to order 6 O versions, will they work without the tap ? Or are they going to need a firmware update? Many thanks

@leftlink 5 ай бұрын

I have read that they work without the tap for the shutdown function but not for the optimization or data logging. but someone should confirm that is more knowledgeable than me!

@scrapyardwars 8 ай бұрын

Excellent results from TS4 here. Optimisation is giving me the edge in a shaded array. Recomended if any shading I have 20 of them.

@boriskeller1669 3 ай бұрын

sad, that there is no device for Optimization AND Fire Shutdown AND Monitoring. Yes, you can combine them, but who wants to clip 2 modules behind the pv modules with all the risks of defects (and of course the price when using many pv modules). So the m device can really NOT separate the module from the string by command?

Yes, the only way to get all 3 would be to mix and match the TIGO TS4-A-F and the TS4-A-O.

@jessiej3991 2 ай бұрын

There is no device like that because they need your money and not because they can't actually make a single module that does all 3 tasks

Thank you for sharing I have a question since I'm in ground Mount therefore I don't need these however I do like the idea of being able to optimize having said that I will have a high voltage array with eight panels 480 watts each combined with a Schneider Electric 100 amp 600 volt charge controller what will you recommend for me and how many of these would I need thank you

Hi @neomatrix2722 - I would recommend that you complete a design form and speak with our design team! signaturesolar.com/system-design/#/Welcome

@brucey5585 Ай бұрын

You would need 8 tigo ts4 a O for optimizing. 1 tigo per panel, since 1 of your panel is pretty much the limit of 1 tigo. Then you will also need the tap module and rss module.

@Tiersmoke92555 4 ай бұрын

Safety looks expensive. Do I need to add this type of system to remote ground and none occupied structures?

@SignatureSolar 4 ай бұрын

Whether or not your PV panels require module level shutdown is up to your local AHJ, and you are correct, you would need a TS4 for each solar panel.

@brucey5585 Ай бұрын

Even if you dont have each panel shutdown. Still get an expensive shutdown switch for the array.

I'm not an installer. But I've heard from installers that Tigo products are crap. And yet others seem to think they are great.
