The UL-certified TS4-A-2F complies with NEC 2017 690.12 Rapid Shutdown specifications when installed with Tigo’s UL-certified RSS Transmitter or an inverter with Tigo's built-in RSS Transmitter. The unit’s powerline communication can be easily verified with Tigo’s RSS Signal Detector. 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

Tigo’s TS4-A-2F will showcase at the Solar Power International (SPI) Exhibition Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah September 24 – 26, 2019. The UL-listed inverters with Tigo’s rapid shutdown solution showing at SPI include CPS (Booth 2201), Fronius (Booth 2019), GoodWe (Booth 2609), SolaX Power (Booth 719), Yaskawa Solectria Solar (Booth 2125), and more. The smart module manufacturers integrated with Tigo showing at SPI include GCL (Booth 1001), JA Solar (Booth 1219), Phono Solar (Booth 301), Suntech (Booth 211), Vikram Solar (4055), and more. To schedule an appointment or for an introduction to one of Tigo's manufacturing partners at SPI, contact sales@tigoenergy.com.

“Tigo’s TS4-A-2F is the most cost-effective rapid shutdown solution on the market today thanks to the accommodation of two modules,” says Zvi Alon, Chairman & CEO at Tigo. “Our inverter and module manufacturing partners see the value in this solution due to its readiness for new or existing systems of any size. Solar Power International is the perfect event to launch while we can collaborate with our many tier one partners to offer this UL-certified solution.”

Tigo’s TS4-A-2F is shipping with module manufacturers and distributors worldwide. This unit joins the other advanced retrofit/add-on units announced earlier this year: TS4-A-F (Fire Safety), TS4-A-O (Optimization), and TS4-A-O-Duo (Optimization per 2 modules).

Quectel Sues Telit, Alleging False Statements, Cybersquatting and Unfair Competition30.10.2026 17:41:00 EET | Press release

Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global end-to-end IoT solutions provider, today announced that it has filed legal action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Telit IoT Solutions Inc. The lawsuit seeks to bring an end to Telit’s campaign of false and misleading claims about Quectel and its products. Quectel alleges that, rather than competing on the strength of its products and technology, Telit engaged in a coordinated campaign to undermine Quectel’s reputation by exploiting geopolitical concerns surrounding Chinese technology companies. According to the complaint, Telit funded, promoted, and amplified false and misleading claims about Quectel’s products while positioning itself to customers as a safer “Western” alternative. The lawsuit further alleges that Telit engaged in cybersquatting involving Quectel’s U.S. domain name to advance its campaign. Quectel maintains that these alleged actions have caused substantial harm to its sales, customer

TestMu AI Launches Kane CLI Exploration, an AI Agent That Maps an Entire Web App From a Single URL and Turns It Into Tests30.10.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release

TestMu AI, the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced Kane CLI Exploration, an autonomous agent that learns a web application before anyone writes a test. Given a single URL, it walks the entire app on its own, flags problems along the way and gives Kane CLI the context it needs to generate and run tests, even when no requirements, user stories or acceptance criteria exist. Every test plan starts from something written down, and many apps never had it. Legacy products lose their specs when the people who wrote them move on, and apps a coding agent built in a week often have no record of intended behavior beyond the prompt history. With nothing to test against, a testing agent ends up grading the app against itself. Starting from the URL a developer provides, the exploration agent moves through every page, junction and flow it can reach, the way a new QA engineer clicks through a product in their first week. For each page it records the controls, the flows in and
