    Tigo Energy gets positive bankability report from BEW engineering firm.

Independent, bank-approved engineering firm BEW recently gave Tigo Energy a positive bankability report, which casts Tigo Energy’s PV optimizer as suitable for deployment in commercial and utility-scale bank-owned solar systems.

BEW’s study assessed the PV optimizer’s production, performance and usability and concluded that the company’s design is a simple power circuit topology that uses standard and robust components. The report also gave positive results on Tigo Energy’s fire and arc prevention, increased energy harvest, module-level performance monitoring and intelligent alert systems and the optimizer’s high efficiency.

"Tigo's approach to product design is thorough and professional, and the design verification testing and reliability testing are consistent with industry good practices," the report states. "The selected contract manufacturer, Inventec, is highly respected and Tigo has adequate processes in place to manage them. Product documentation is complete and the service infrastructure is in place to support the product."

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.

  • Manufacturing The Solar Future: The 2013 Production Annual
