2019 solar buyers guide
SolarEdge
SolarEdge's EV charging single phase inverter offers homeowners the ability to charge electric vehicles up to 6x faster than a standard Level 1 charger through its solar boost mode that simul- taneously utilizes grid and PV charging. This EV charger is integrated into SolarEdge’s PV inverter with HD-Wave technology, which eliminates the need for additional wiring, conduit, and a breaker installation. No additional dedicated circuit breaker is needed, saving space and ruling out a potential upgrade to the main distribution panel.

Tigo Energy
Tigo's RSS (Rapid Shutdown System) Transmitter completes the cost-effective rapid shutdown system architecture when paired with
Tigo's UL-certi ed TS4-F (integrated) and/or TS4-R-F (retro tted/add-on) solutions. The RSS Transmitter sends a signal to the TS4-F units
to keep PV modules connected while powered on and supplying energy. TS4-F units automati- cally enter rapid shutdown mode when the RSS Transmitter is switched off and resume energy production when power is restored to the RSS Transmitter. This solution complies with NEC 2014 and 2017 690.12 speci cations and supports the SunSpec-de ned signaling for rapid shutdown with power-line communi- cation. Available as a Kit, DIN Rail, or PCBA.
