Overview
The Tigo EI Residential Solar Solution optimizes energy consumption based on rate plans and
today’s home energy needs. It uses the following hardware components:
•
EI Inverter
– A single- or three-phase Tigo EI Inverter may be installed as grid tied
only or as part of an energy storage system when paired with a Tigo EI Battery.
•
EI Link
– The inverter’s link component provides a single connection location for
communications and AC/DC wiring.
•
TS4 MLPE
– Tigo’s module-level power electronic (MLPE) components optimize solar
module performance and provide module-level monitoring and rapid safety shutdown. A
Tigo Access Point (TAP) enables wireless communication with TS4 components with a wired
connection to the inverter.
•
Battery management system (BMS)
– The BMS component provides protection,
internal monitoring, and management electronics.
•
EI Battery
– Up to four lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) EI batteries are designed for use
specifically with the EI Inverter.
The
Tigo Energy Intelligence
Android/iOS mobile app enables easy system commissioning
and provides comprehensive ongoing visibility into system and module performance.
