As solar power has become more commonplace, more regulations have been established to ensure that solar power systems are safe. One of these requirements is rapid shutdown functionality, the ability to shut down your solar power system and de-energize the electronic components in the system almost instantaneously. To do this, you need to connect multiple rapid shutdown devices.
The Tigo TS4-A-F is one such device, connecting at the module level to provide rapid shutdown capabilities to each panel. This device ensures that each panel can quickly de-energize in emergency situations or for routine maintenance, helping you keep your system in compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. The Tigo TS4-A-F can be used in new installations, or can be retrofitted into existing systems for a reliable solution to your system’s rapid shutdown needs.
Key specifications of the Tigo TS4-A-F include the following:
- Maximum Power: 700W
- Input Voltage Range: 16–80V
