Tigo announced its new RSS (Rapid Shutdown System) Transmitter to complete its cost-effective rapid shutdown system architecture when paired with TS4-F (Fire Safety).
Tigo’s RSS Transmitter accompanies the UL-certified TS4-F (integrated) and TS4-R-F (retrofitted/add-on) solutions. Tigo is currently taking orders—contact sales@tigoenergy.com for more information. Consult your preferred PV supplier for the TS4-F integrated solution. To learn more, join Tigo’s live RSS Webinar on November 14 at 10 a.m. PT.
The RSS Transmitter sends a signal to the TS4-F units to keep their PV modules connected while powered on and supplying energy. TS4-F units automatically enter rapid shutdown mode when the RSS Transmitter is switched off and resume energy production when power is restored to the RSS Transmitter. This solution complies with U.S. National Electric Code (NEC) article 690.12 specifications for 2014 and 2017 and supports the SunSpec-defined signaling for rapid shutdown with power-line communication (PLC). The TS4-F units and RSS Transmitter require no commissioning process.
Highlights of the RSS Transmitter include:
“Providing a UL-certified transmitter to complete our second TS4 System Architecture solution for rapid shutdown has been Tigo’s largest contribution to safer solar,” says Zvi Alon, CEO at Tigo. “Tigo’s RSS Transmitter is the only SunSpec keep-alive device for rapid shutdown with PLC in the solar market today. We are excited to be shipping and certifying with a large number of tier one inverter manufacturing partners by the end of the year.”
Tigo and its many partners contributed expertise to solar standards with SunSpec Alliance. SMA, Fronius, ABB, Chint, HiQ Solar, Ingeteam, Kaco, Sungrow and Yaskawa Solectria and others are among UL-listed PV inverter manufacturers that will be compatible with Tigo’s RSS solutions. Tigo continues to expand its compliant inverter portfolio with many partner brands for its customers.
Tigo is currently taking orders for the RSS Transmitter—available as a Kit, DIN Rail, or PCBA.
