Tigo MLPE to deliver best-in-class safety for large Commercial & Industrial solar installation in central
The system, which will produce clean energy to help serve the demand from local industry and feed excess energy back to the public grid, will include more than 107,000 Tigo TS4-A-2F MLPE devices and produce in excess of 142MWp. The project also includes more than 550 Tigo RSS Transmitters with Pure Signal technology, which eliminates disturbances in PLC signals from adjacent cable runs and improves the effectiveness of system communications functions in large and complex systems.
“With the responsibility that comes with a system of this size, the reliability and quality of Tigo was the ideal option for rapid shutdown safety,” said Diego Navarro, purchasing manager at Constructora San Jose, S.A. “In contrast to roof-mounted solar systems, the risk of contact with a ground-mounted system is somewhat higher, which is why reliable rapid shutdown is essential. With a project that will become part of the critical energy infrastructure in the region, it is important to get everything right, and the Tigo Green Glove program has provided outstanding support service throughout the process.”
The TS4-A-2F is a reliable and cost-effective two-module rapid shutdown solution that meets the latest module-level shutdown requirements, including NEC 2017/2020. The TS4-A-2F is both IEC and UL-certified for global acceptance and UL-PVRSS-certified for connectivity with the largest network of inverters. Constructora San Jose selected the TS4-A-2F to support the 670W modules used in the project, which will be under construction during the second half of 2024, with commissioning expected in the first half of 2025.
“It is an honor to have won the trust of Constructora San Jose, S.A. for this project, and we look forward to delivering on Total Quality Solar as the project moves through installation and into the operations phase,” said Mirko Bindi, Senior VP Sales EMEA & MD
