Upsolar, a leading international provider of solar PV modules, today announced the UK availability of its smart modules powered by Tigo Energy.

To create smart modules, Tigo Energy’s optimizers are integrated into the junction boxes of Upsolar modules during the manufacturing process, which enhances the flexibility of system design, eases the installation process and reduces balance of systems costs. These benefits are made possible by utilizing patented impedance matching technology to maximize power harvest at the module level. Additionally, systems featuring smart modules are equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities, allowing customers to access and analyze performance data at the module level through Tigo Energy’s module-level monitoring software and mobile app.

“Upsolar is known for its meticulous attention to product quality and customer service—characteristics we hold in high esteem for both our partners and ourselves,” said Richard Jenkins, Managing Director for Ecolution Renewables. “We’re proud to offer our customers Upsolar’s full product suite, including smart modules, as we strive to make solar power available to all.”
