Tigo Energy™ power electronics system for modules

06 May 2009 | Tigo Energy

Tigo Energy has developed a power electronics system for PV solar projects which 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.
