PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Tigo EI Hybrid Inverter (TSI-3.8K US)
The Smart Heart of Your Energy Intelligence System
The hybrid Tigo EI Inverter is the centerpiece of the Tigo Energy Intelligence (EI) solution. It intelligently orchestrates energy production and consumption when coupled with a Tigo EI Battery. Additionally, it enables advanced module-level monitoring, optimization, and rapid shutdown compliance when paired with Tigo TS4 MLPE (Module Level Power Electronics).
Key Features
-
High Performance: Supports up to 200% DC oversizing (2:1 DC/AC ratio) and features a low 80V starting voltage.
-
Flexible Design: Multiple MPPT options (2, 3, or 4 depending on the model) to optimize complex, uneven roof layouts.
-
Smart Platform: Fully powered by the Tigo Energy Intelligence platform for streamlined, centralized management.
-
Safety & Compliance: Built-in, full NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown compliance.
-
Seamless Connectivity: Integrated Wi-Fi standard with optional cellular communication for reliable data backup.
-
Rapid Commissioning: Under 10-minute setup (including Tigo TS4s) using the intuitive EI mobile app.
-
Built to Last: Lightweight, robust design (32 to 45 lbs.) backed by a generous 152-month standard warranty.
