Tigo Announces Strategic Partnership with Sunpreme to Feature Tigo’s TS4 Platform
Tigo Energy Inc., (“Tigo”) the leader in smart module technology,
announces its strategic partnership with Sunpreme, a global solar
photovoltaic growth company, offering the market Sunpreme’s
industry-leading Bi-facial Solar Smart modules integrated with Tigo’s
groundbreaking TS4-L product, to provide the market the most advanced
and powerful PV modules available. Integrating Tigo’s top tier TS4-L
(Long Strings) technology into Supreme’s modules will allow solar
installers the ability to utilize a reduced maximum circuit voltage to
increase string length by up to 30%. TS4-L is Tigo’s most advanced
product, allowing for long strings, industry-maximum optimization,
safety, and monitoring capabilities.

“We chose Tigo’s top-of-the-line TS4-L because its high quality matched
that of our Bi-facial Solar modules. Sunpreme Smart Modules are an
industry game-changer offering our clients the high performance
Bi-facial, double glass solar modules integrated with Tigo’s TS4-L--to
maximize energy yield, and increase string length up to 30%. This
collaboration enables Sunpreme to continue to offer our customers the
most technically advanced smart module on the market, with the greatest
custom design flexibility in mind while reducing BOS costs -- to
maximize project financial returns and its lifetime yield,” said
Surinder Bedi, Executive Vice President for Market Development, System
Products and Global Quality and Reliability at Supreme.
TS4-L features the cutting-edge Predictive IV tracking technology
utilizing PV modules’ unique parameters and advanced analytics to
predict the most optimum settings, allowing the PV module to generate
the maximum energy possible in the industry. The features of TS4-L are
described in more detail below:
-
(Diodes): Most reliable standard JBox dissipating heat away from the
module, minimizing hot spots
-
(Monitoring): Remotely collects data in two second increments:
voltage, current, temperature, manufacturer name, module type, date
manufactured, barcode, and much more wirelessly via module-level
communication; lowers operations and maintenance (O&M) costs
considerably
-
(Safety): Rapid shutdown compliant via module-level deactivation,
supports anti- theft and revenue protection functionality (includes
TS4-Monitoring capabilities)
-
(Optimization): Addresses shade, increases energy density, system
level mismatch mitigation, and age tolerance for maximum energy
harvesting (includes Monitoring and Safety capabilities)
-
(Long Strings): Increases string length by up to 30% via voltage
control mechanism of each module (includes Monitoring, Safety, and
Optimization capabilities)
“We are thrilled to be working with Sunpreme to offer installers
superior TS4 integrated Smart Bi-facial Solar PV modules,” said Zvi
Alon, CEO of Tigo Energy. “Sunpreme has demonstrated an unprecedented
level of care and quality in the design and marketing of their leading
products. Together we will be able to offer a transformative module
tailored to the needs of our customers without limiting them in design
or functionality, whether they want to monitor their system at the
module-level, or improve overall system performance with optimization.
TS4-L’s long string capability will enable installers to work around
module capacity limits, promising our customers their greatest ROI at
the lowest cost on the market.”
