The TS4-A-S provides module-level shutdown when installed on each PV module and accompanied by the Tigo Access Point (TAP) and the Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA). DC production data can be analyzed via Tigo’s SMART Website or App when connected to the cloud. This TS4-A-S launch accompanies the recently announced TS4-A-M (Monitoring Add-on) launch earlier this month. These units complete Tigo’s transition from the legacy TS4-R retrofit platform to the TS4-A add-on platform with mechanical upgrades, UHD-Core technology, expanded specifications to support PV modules up to 500W. To learn more, join Tigo's free online "Rapid Shutdown featuring the TS4-A-S & NEC 2020" webinar on Thursday, March 26th at 10am PT.
The highlights of the new TS4-A-S (Safety Add-on) with rapid shutdown include:
- Comply with NEC 2014, 2017, 2020 rapid shutdown requirements
- Choose compatibility from more than 100 UL-system-certified inverters
- Choose compatibility from any module up to 500W
- Manual or automatic shutdown in event of AC grid loss
- Automatic email or SMS alerts about faults or operational issues
- Protect PV system assets with full visibility of performance
- Lower O&M costs when identifying specific module problems
- Utilize module manufacturer warranties when tracking module failures
“Only inverters and rapid shutdown devices that have been UL-certified as a system are certified as safe. There’s one multivendor solution for residential C&I – and that’s Tigo,” says Danny Eizips, VP of Hardware Engineering at Tigo. “Others might not meet mandatory safety requirements, and therefore, cannot be trusted as safe when installed together in one PV system. We're working diligently to educate our partners and customers worldwide to know the difference for the safest solar experience.”
Tigo is now taking orders for the TS4-A-S worldwide. The last inventory of legacy TS4-R-S units may be shipped per the discretion of Tigo and Tigo’s distribution partners as the new TS4-A-S shipments are prepared. Both units are fully backward compatible. For price and delivery, consult your preferred solar distributor, call Tigo at +1.408.402.0802, email sales@tigoenergy.com, or visit www.tigoenergy.com.

Mindbreeze InSpire Reduces Token Maxxing, Turning Runaway AI Costs Into Predictable Enterprise Value28.7.2026 16:03:00 EEST | Press release
Mindbreeze, a leading global provider of AI-based knowledge management solutions, today announced that Mindbreeze InSpire reduces token maxxing, the costly overconsumption of large language model (LLM) tokens that is straining enterprise AI budgets. By retrieving only the most relevant, grounded content and passing it to LLMs with precision, Mindbreeze InSpire lowers the tokens required per answer while improving accuracy, giving enterprises a path to scalable AI with predictable economics. Token maxxing has become one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise AI. As organizations connect generative AI to their data, many default to injecting large volumes of undifferentiated context into every prompt, repeatedly, across thousands of queries. Industry analysis has warned that tokens are becoming the true unit of AI cost, with usage-driven and nonlinear spending that is difficult to forecast and quick to erode margins. The problem is rarely the model. It is what the model is asked

Uptime Institute today released the findings of its 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey, the most comprehensive study of the digital infrastructure sector. The 2026 results reveal an industry navigating workforce constraints, escalating outage expenses, even as rising costs remain the top concern for management teams. Financial Pressure and Resource Constraints Intensify: While high costs continue to be a primary concern for data center leaders, the 2026 survey also highlights escalating concerns over capacity forecasting, power availability, and supply chain disruptions. Power efficiency gains remain gradual. The industry saw minor improvements in average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) levels this year. While newer facilities may boast highly efficient designs, overall global progress is slowed by legacy infrastructure. The AI and Density Reality Check: Despite market enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence, expectations for AI in data center operations cooled slightly in 2026. Oper
