Solair, Installs Tigo solar system
22 KW Solar Array Activated in Georgetown
Using Tigo Maximizer System
Georgetown, DE, February 2nd, 2010: Solair, LLC has completed the installation and
activation of a solar system on a residence in Georgetown, Delaware. This 22 kilowatt
system utilizes state of the art Tigo Energy Maximizers. The Tigo Maximizer System
delivers more energy, and better monitoring of power generation over traditional
solar panel systems. This activated residential solar panel array has already produced
more than a MEGAWATT of power in less than 2 weeks in January.
According to Sam Arditi, CEO of Tigo Energy, "Solair is bringing a fresh outlook
to solar installation by utilizing the most advanced components to maximize their
customer's experience. As part of the system Solair has architected, the Tigo Energy
Maximizer solution delivers maximum energy output and unprecedented visibility to
operate the system at peak efficiency for the next 25 years.”
The Tigo system is able to produce more power by separating each solar panel electrically.
By separating the panels, each individual panel can send the most wattage to the
inverter. In a traditional solar array, many panels are tied together in an electrical
string. Every panel in the string can only output as much as the weakest one. Something
as simple as a cloud passing over a single panel can shade it and cut the output
of the entire string. When this happens it can affect 12 or 13 panels. Tigo Energy’s
Mazimizer System eliminates this issue.
With conventional monitoring systems today’s solar owners may know how much energy
has been produced, but actually have no visibility into what is happening on the
roof. Are all the modules working? Was there less output this month simply because
of clouds, shade, dust or something more troubling? The Tigo Energy System comes
with revolutionary new web based management tools that lets you see the performance
of each individual component in the system (including every module), immediately
alerts you of unexpected system shutdown, and gives proactive suggestions for keeping
your system at peak efficiency. This web based monitoring is easy to use and very
informative. Customers can log into their Tigo accounts at
www.getsolair.com to keep an eye on the performance of their Energy Maximizers.
“More Power and Faster Paybacks on your Green Commitment” That’s what Solair is
all about. You may read more about Solair or see this system on Facebook at “SolairLLC”,

Solair, on the cutting edge of Solar POWER
Dewey Beach, DE, July 14th, 2009
Solair, LLC has completed the installation and activation of a Solar System on the
Martin Family home in Dewey Beach Delaware. This 8 Kilowatt system utilizes state
of the art Enphase AC Technology. Enphase AC technology is a new technology that
improves the conversion of solar generated electricity to AC current used in most
households and businesses. This system is more efficient than traditional solar
systems because there is a micro inverter built into each panel.
The Enphase AC system eliminates the traditional problem of one panel lowering the
output of a large portion of the system. In the past if one panel was under performing
due to shading or other issues, it would drag down the performance of the entire
string of panels. With Enphase AC systems, each panel operates individually to provide
power to the home or business. The Enphase micro inverters allow the customer to
continually monitor the systems output by simply logging into their own internet
site (provided by Enphase). The site shows real time data on the performance of
each individual panel or the system in its entirety. Solair, LLC installed this
new technology for the same price as a traditional solar system.
