Module Maximizer Tigo Energy

Tigo Energy® Module Maximizer™-ES (MM-ES)Data SheetFor residential, commercial and utility scale photovoltaic solar arrays, the Tigo Energy® Maximizer™ system optimizes the power output of each module (solar panel); delivers module-level data for operational management and performance monitoring; and provides the ability to deactivate the high voltage DC bus for safer installation, maintenance or fire fighting. Tigo Energy Module Maximizers are key components of the system which reside at each module (one per solar module). The Module Maximizer provides data acquisition, communication to the Tigo Energy® Maximizer™ Management Unit, and energy harvesting control. The very small electronics footprint has been designed to minimize cost and maximize reliability. Tigo Energy Maximizer MM-ES is ideal for the European market and retrofit around the world.The Tigo Energy output optimization starts with dynamic module balancing – a Module Maximizer (patented) attached to each module manages the energy harvest and sends information to the Maximizer Management Unit for reporting and control. The Tigo Energy Serial Module Maximizer (MM-ES) connects in a series topology. MM-ES maintains best-in-class system conversion efficiencies. The Tigo Energy Module Maximizer includes a unique technology (patented) which greatly enhances the safety of a PV solar installation. As part of the Tigo Energy Maximizer system, this function can be activated with a safety button or via a remote management console. The system can be installed, maintained or approached by fire personnel without the exposure to voltage levels typically in excess of 400 volts. The Tigo Energy Module Maximizer is packaged in a NEMA3R enclosure (water and weather resistant), conforms to UL and IEEE safety standards. There are Module Maximizer options to fit any PV module, crystalline silicon or thin-film, regardless of output voltage or nominal power rating. Tigo Energy® Module MaximizerTM - ESTigo Energy, Inc.
