Tigo Energy Provides Rapid Shutdown for EnPower Star Residential Energy Storage System

Company uses Tigo Energy TS4 MLPE for PV Safe Energy Storage Systems throughout North America

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tigo Energy, Inc., the solar industry’s leading Flex MLPE (Module Level Power Electronics) supplier, announced today that EnPower Star has deployed its clean, renewable and affordable energy storage systems using the Tigo TS4-A-2F and RSS Transmitter to enable rapid shutdown for PV modules.

The Tigo TS4-A-2F is a reliable, cost effective rapid shutdown solution that meets the latest module level shutdown requirements, including NEC 2017/2020. The TS4-A-2F is UL PVRSS certified for use with the largest network of inverters, many of which feature a built in RSS transmitter. By connecting to two modules, the TS4-A-2F reduces labor time and enables 16% fewer connections on a 14-panel string compared to single channel MLPE.
