What is the TIGO collection?
The TIGO collection brings together solutions for optimization and control at the module level: TS4 optimizers (such as the TS4-A-O 700 W), TAP access points, and CCA controllers for wireless connection, rapid shutdown, and monitoring via app/portal. In addition, the TIGO EI ecosystem incorporates compatible inverters and batteries, enabling residential and commercial projects with enhanced visibility and safety.
Advantages and limitations
- Increases performance in shading, mismatch, or different orientations with module-level optimization.
- Rapid shutdown and module-level telemetry to comply with regulations and improve safety.
- Open architecture: compatible with multiple inverter brands (ideal for retrofit).
- Remote diagnostics with CCA+TAP: reduces O&M and speeds up commissioning.
- Limitations: requires sizing the number of optimizers and TAP wireless coverage according to the PV field.
Applications
- Residential self-consumption with single-phase inverters and partial shading.
- Light commercial with three-phase inverters where module-level monitoring is desired.
- Retrofit of existing installations that need optimizers and rapid shutdown without replacing the inverter.
How to choose in TIGO
- Optimizers: select TS4 according to module power/current (e.g., up to 700 W) and objective (optimization, safety, or both).
- Communication: add TAP for wireless connection of the TS4 and CCA for management/monitoring (LAN/Wi-Fi/RS485).
- Coverage: calculate the number of TAPs according to field layout and obstacles; verify signal quality during commissioning.
- Inverter: compatible with most brands; if you prefer a unified ecosystem, consider TIGO EI within single-phase or three-phase options.
Indicative specifications
| Optimization | TS4 per module (e.g., TS4-A-O up to ~700 W) |
| Safety | Rapid shutdown per module in compliance with regulations |
| Communications | TAP (radio module↔gateway) + CCA (LAN/Wi-Fi/RS485) |
| Compatibility | Multi-brand inverters; integration in retrofit |
| Monitoring | App/portal with data per module, alerts, and diagnostics |
| Typical application | Residential and light commercial with shading or uneven strings |
Best practices
- Verify the power and current of the modules against the limit of the selected optimizer.
- Plan the position of the TAP to cover the entire PV surface; avoid shielding.
- Label strings and modules to facilitate O&M and troubleshooting.
- Complete with suitable DC protections, AC protections, and solar cable.
