Getting the most out of your system can be a real game-changer—and that’s where Tigo power modules come in. These units can do multiple They also offer powerful real-time monitoring, giving users a clear view of how their system is performing at any moment. And with built-in rapid-shutdown safety features, Tigo ensures your system is not only more productive, but also safer and fully compliant with today’s standards.
At the heart of advanced Tigo monitoring and optimization is the CCA (Cloud Connect Advanced) paired with the TAP (Tigo Access Point) kit. This combination serves as the communication bridge between the Tigo modules and the cloud. The TAP wirelessly gathers module-level data, while the CCA sends that information to the Tigo servers, making it easy to view performance in real time. When your system includes modules like the TS4-A-O or TS4-A-S, the CCA and TAP kit are essential for unlocking their full features—including optimization, monitoring, and safety functions.
One of the most popular modules in the lineup is the TS4-A-O, which focuses on full optimization. This unit actively manages the power output of each solar panel, ensuring that shading, debris, or aging panels don’t drag down the performance of the entire array. For homeowners looking to squeeze every possible watt out of their system, this is often the ideal choice. The TS4-A-O requires a CCA and TAP kit to enable its optimization and monitoring capabilities, making it a great fit for systems where real-time insight and maximum energy production matter.
Meanwhile, the TS4-A-S focuses on module-level monitoring and safety. It’s perfect for system owners who want a clear view of solar panel performance without necessarily needing full optimization. As with the -O model, this unit also requires the CCA and TAP kit to deliver monitoring data to the Tigo app and enable rapid-shutdown functionality when needed. Installers who want diagnostic clarity or homeowners who simply want to understand how each panel contributes to the system will find the TS4-A-S to be a strong upgrade.
Then there’s the TS4-A-F, a rapid-shutdown-only solution that brings safety compliance without the added layers of monitoring or optimization. What makes the TS4-A-F unique—and important to note—is that it does not require the CCA or TAP kit if the inverter already includes an RSS (Rapid Shutdown System) transmitter. In those cases, the TS4-A-F communicates directly with the inverter, allowing installers to meet NEC rapid-shutdown requirements with minimal hardware. For those who just need a clean, code-compliant, cost-effective shutdown solution, the TS4-A-F is the simplest and most streamlined option in the Tigo lineup.
