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.
