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.

Verdantis Rebrands as the AI Super-Agent for MRO, Sets Sights on AI-Native Enterprise Asset Management8.9.2026 17:06:00 EEST | Press release
Verdantis, the AI company for spare parts and MRO inventory optimization in asset-intensive industries, today unveiled its new brand identity as the AI Super-agent for MRO and announced it is building toward a fully AI-native Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platform. Verdantis’s super-agent orchestrates nine specialized AI agents across the decisions that decide plant uptime: spare parts, criticality, demand, reorder, and work order planning. These decisions set working capital, maintenance spend, and whether a critical asset runs and, in most plants, they are still made in spreadsheets and disconnected systems. The positioning is for the teams who own uptime - maintenance, reliability, and MRO supply chain leaders in oil and gas, mining, utilities, chemicals, and manufacturing. And it reflects an AI-first architecture: agents decide and act by default; people supervise, override, and teach the system. Every human override creates feedback that helps the system learn. That principle
