Trina Solar, a smart module manufacturer, announced that Cobalt Power, a PV system installer, successfully commissioned the first commercial-scale installation of Trinasmart in North America.
The 113kW system located in the San Francisco Bay Area is the first North American commercial project featuring Trinasmart modules, an innovative integration of Tigo Energy’s optimizer technology into Trina Solar’s solar modules.
Trinasmart was the right solution for this customer, who was building a net zero energy office building and wanted to maximize energy production from the available roof area. The project, commissioned in November, uses 462 Trinasmart 245W modules to maximize the energy produced on the roof.
The Trinasmart modules optimized by Tigo Energy are expected to produce about 3% more energy than traditional modules on this project. The system also has enhanced safety measures with panel-level disconnect, and is monitored and managed by Tigo Energy’s advanced software engine.
