System owners can ensure safety by upgrading existing PV systems or by adding these safety features to new installations. With this improved lightweight hardware, lower labor costs, and application for two modules, the TS4-A-2F is quickly becoming the most adopted rapid shutdown solution in the industry.
The highlights of TS4-A-2F include:
- Maximum Total Power is 1000W for two modules
- Maximum Current is 15A per input
- Available as 1500V UL
- UL-certified as NEC 2017 Rapid Shutdown Solution
- Snap to standard module frame or rack mounting
- Module-level deactivation with automatic or manual shutdown
- PV array enters rapid shutdown in event of AC grid loss
- Powerline communication (PLC) signaling
- Smaller unit dimensions with reduced weight per unit by 25%
- Reduced shipping costs with 33% more units per pallet
- Recessed mounting allows shipments of pre-assembled PV modules
- Improved heat dissipation with over-temperature and over-voltage protection
- Improved IP68 rating for greater outdoor exposure

Electricity System Transformation Vital to Meet Future Needs, Arthur D. Little Blue Shift Report Finds1.6.2026 12:00:00 EEST | Press release
Arthur D. Little (ADL)’s Blue Shift Institute today published The Future of Electricity - From Building Capacity to Shaping Flexibility. The in-depth new report explores the growing pressures on electricity systems worldwide, and how they must transform to meet radically changing needs. With demand predicted to rise by 40-55% by 2035, it identifies practical strategies for maintaining reliability, affordability, and resilience. Electricity systems face profound challenges due to the accelerating electrification of end uses, increasing renewables deployments, and the digitalization of economies. Rising variability and system stress is already leading to instability, grid congestion, and disruption. Demonstrating this, an April 2025 blackout across the Iberian Peninsula led to at least eight deaths and an estimated US $1.8 billion in economic losses. Based on in-depth research and expert interviews, the report outlines the need to reshape infrastructure and operations to move from supply
Procore Redefines the Common Data Environment with Connected Data and Agentic AI1.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), the leading global provider of construction management software, today announced the launch of its connected Common Data Environment (CDE)—a purpose-built CDE from the ground up on a single platform to unify and verify project data from approved design to handover, capturing evidence in the flow of work to help keep the digital record aligned with site reality. This trusted data foundation allows agentic AI to act across the full construction lifecycle. In an industry where fragmented information continues to slow decision-making and contribute to costly delays, connected data is increasingly defining top-performing organizations. New research from Dodge Construction Network* found firms with optimized data practices achieve up to 23% higher productivity, manage 27.8% greater construction volume using the same resources, and reduce project delays by more than six days. Those firms also report up to 40% stronger overall performance, highlighting
AI Investment Boom Across the UK is Fuelled More by Fear of Missing out Than Actual Results, According to Expereo1.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Enterprise AI spending is climbing rapidly, with boards racing to deploy the technology faster than they can measure whether it works. According to the latest IDC InfoBrief, commissioned by Expereo*, around 70% of organizations are investing in AI, motivated by its potential or by the fear of falling behind the competition, but they lag in disciplined ROI evaluation, and one in five (20%) admit they are investing aggressively in AI with little evaluation, driven by the fear of being left behind. The IDC InfoBrief, based on a survey of 800 technology leaders across Europe, the US, and APAC, found that AI has become one of the most prioritized technology investments globally. When asked which technologies their organization will prioritize in terms of effort and/or financial investment over the next 12 months, 51% of organizations said AI or ML. However, returns are failing to keep pace with the hype. Just 19% of global organizations surveyed say their AI implementations have exceeded ex
