Tigo Energy
Founded in 2007, Tigo Energy has successfully deployed 18 installations in the United States, Europe and Japan in cooperation with several of the most prominent solar industry leaders. Encouraged by the success of the initial installations the company is rapidly moving to volume production., The company’s Maximizer System (patent pending) can immediately return up to 20% power from today's traditionally architected systems. As a "CapEx neutral" system, achieved through the re-partitioning of system electronics, the value of increased power generation is available to the system owner in the first year. Operational expenses (cost-of-ownership) are also reduced through increased system reliability, safety enhancements and advanced module-level management for granular maintenance and warranty service., , Tigo Energy's power electronics system for PV solar projects distributes key elements of instrumentation, control and maximum power point tracking to the module. The system provides optimal power harvest from each module while not introducing additional conversion loss or significant cost increases relative to today’s centralized BOS electronics. By placing a small amount of electronics on each panel, Tigo Energy eliminates the system impact of underperforming modules (made weaker by high temperature; dust & debris; aging; clouds; or shade) and thus harvests up to 20% additional energy. This significantly reduces levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and project payback period., Information (voltage, current, power, temperature, irradiance, etc.) gathered at the module is transmitted to a database where it can be accessed by a suite of analytic, alerting, metering and maintenance applications. An intuitive web-based UI provides a comprehensive view of system performance which scales to the needs of installers, residential owners, and utility scale operators. The unprecedented level of information and guidance can lead to significant reductions in operating and maintenance (O&M) expenses., , Tigo Energy is also able to address many of the safety issues that confront solar installations. Today’s serial interconnection of panels ensures that when the sun is shining there is the potential of very high voltage (above 400 volts) on the cables – even when the DC shutoff is in the “off” position. The hazard to installers, maintenance personnel and firefighters is evident. The Tigo Energy system can disconnect each panel from the string, limiting the exposure to only the Voc of a single panel (usually
