August 22nd, 2018, Ginlong Solis announced the signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the compatibility of its new Ginlong Solis Inverters to be integrated with Tigo®, pioneer of the smart modular Flex MLPE platform. Tigo’s integrated Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) universal data logger will power Ginlong Solis inverters as a UL-Certified Module-Level Rapid Shutdown System with all Smart Modules. This includes the Solis-1P(2.5K-6K2)-4G-US and a new Smart Inverter series for residential, commercial, and industrial segments with an initial focus on the markets in North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico).
Ginlong Solis’ Smart Inverter series will be combined with the following TS4 product families from Tigo:
- Integrated TS4:
-D (Diodes), -M (Monitoring), -F (Fire Safety), -S (Safety), -O (Optimization), and -L (Long Strings)
- Retrofitted/Add-On TS4-R:
-M (Monitoring), -F (Fire Safety), -S (Safety), and -O (Optimization)
Integrating powerline communications (PLC) control allows Ginlong Solis to offer its customers various benefits to the TS4-F (Fire Safety) “out of the box” Rapid Shutdown solution.
Solis-1P(2.5K-6K2)-4G-US inverter was originally listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as a PV Rapid Shutdown System subassembly equipment, announced last year. The certification was shared by Tigo after extensive testing with Tigo’s Rapid Shutdown solution for NEC 2014 & 2017 690.12 requirements. The certified System consists of the Solis-1P (2.5K-6K2)-4G-USinverter with Tigo’sTS4 optimizers with UHD-Core technology.
“Ginlong Solis has a proven track record of success in the United States since 2009, with over 25,000 bankable and reliable Solis inverters installed nationwide. We are excited to partner with Tigo, a pioneer and leader in Module Level Power Electronics technologies to offer our customers with industry-leading affordable solar system solutions. We are working together to help accelerate solar adoption and preserve planet for future generations.”
“The Ginlong’s Solis-1P (2.5K-6K2)-4G-USinverter offers industry-leading 2 MPPTs design and fan-less natural convection technology. It has a compact and lightweight design inside a corrosion-resistant NEMA 4X enclosure for indoor and outdoor installations. The 5th generation Infineon IGB technology, improving the efficiency by 0.5%. High switching frequency at 30KHZ, reducing induction loss and noise level.It has up to98.1% efficient with an ultra-low start up voltage. This inverter has integrated Arc Fault Circuit Interrupt (AFCI). Like most Ginlong Solis inverters, it has a 10-year Standard Warranty with extension options.
Ginlong is now shipping its UL-listed Solis-1P(2.5K-6K2)-4G-USinverter with Tigo as a Rapid Shutdown Solutionin North America and will ship the new Ginlong Smart Inverters Solis-1P(6K-10K)-4G-US and Solis three phase inverters integrated with Tigo by Q1’2019.
