Tigo Energy aims to make designing a smart module system, or retrofitting an existing one easier with its new design tool, which the company says provides all relevant information in less than 2 minutes. The tool works by entering a few basic system parameters to yield all the needed information.
The tool provides the following:
- For new Smart Module systems:
Maximum possible string length for the chosen system
Number of Gateways and Management Units required.
- For existing systems to be retrofitted:
Matching Optimizer type for the PV module type, layout and configuration, and number of required optimizers.
Number of Gateways and Management Units required.
The tool is free of charge. Find more information here.
