New roof hook saves material and installation time
The new and improved generation of roof hooks for the Eco and Rapid 2+ series generates significant savings in installation time and costs. The roof hooks are welded in one piece and come in 6mm or 8mm bar thickness. They are made of the high-strength steel grade S700MC in accordance with EN 10149-2: 2013-12 and have already been granted European Technical Approval (ETA). Their strength meets the requirements for mechanical strength, stability, structural integrity, and durability stipulated in EU Regulation 305/2011. PV systems on tiled roofs with wooden substructures can be installed with fewer fixing points per kilowatt of output. This not only saves material costs but also installation time. A new zinc flake coating makes the roof hook particularly corrosion-resistant.

Universal datalogger
Only one Tigo Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) is needed as the general purpose data logger for all components in an entire PV system. All PV modules, inverters, or other 3rd party devices are monitored at the highest sampling rate. e data is uploaded to Tigo's cloud for free and is available via Tigo's SMART Website and SMART App. Tigo's CCA interfaces with inverters, modules, AC meters, weather stations, and more so that a user can have AC production and all other relevant information on their system shown on their Tigo SMART Summary Page. e CCA also allows module-level DC production from
the Tigo PV system to be displayed. With advanced charts, graphs, and a sophisticated alerts system, a eet can be managed from a single platform, from total AC power all the way down to module-level. Tigo's CCA is also an approved reporting device for many rebate programs. By connecting to a revenue-grade AC meter, users can obtain production data that can be saved for these rebate programs like performance-based incentives.

Power supply with UPS and PoE
e rack-mountable EdgePower 24V features 24Vdc and 2 RJ45 PoE ports. Users can receive alerts in the event of a power outage, and the EdgePower 24V o ers a 12V lead acid battery input for redundancy if the AC input fails over (battery not included). Designed for convenient management, the EdgePower allows users to con gure and monitor PSU features in a graphical user interface. ey can also use UNMS (Ubiquiti Network Management System) for remote management, and SNMP is available to monitor the EdgePower for issues that warrant attention.
