The SMA Power + Solution can be applied per module for operational simplicity or selectively for faster installation. The TS4-R module components of the SMA Power + Solution can be used like traditional MLPEs and satisfy all of the challenges that incumbent solutions address. But unlike traditional optimization, which requires MLPEs on every module even when it’s not needed, the Power + Solution can also be applied selectively.
This reduces installation time, service risk, and ultimately cost. Selectively deploying TS4-R can save up to 90 minutes of installation time per residential system while realizing greater energy production and roof usage, and providing a higher ROI. Selective deployment is also ideal when it comes to service and O&M. Fewer components mean fewer potential points of failure and less risk, and when service is required, it is simpler.
For integrators opting for full deployment, installation can still achieve significant time saving. The module-based DC technology is supplied by the universal TS4 platform, which offers various levels of plug-and-play functionality. The TS4 is available as a factory integrated component through leading module suppliers. For data monitoring, module-level diagnostics can be viewed through their monitoring repository for PV systems.
