Tigo Cloud Connect Advanced Kit (CCA) with TAP (Indoor)
- Monitor compatible Tigo TS4 module-level electronics and connect system data to Tigo SMART Monitoring.
- Includes an indoor Tigo Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) data logger and Tigo Access Point (TAP) for wireless communication with TS4 units.
- Supports system commissioning through the Tigo SMART App, alongside Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity options.
Tigo CCA with TAP for module-level monitoring
The Tigo Cloud Connect Advanced Kit (CCA) with TAP (Indoor) provides the communications hardware needed to collect data from compatible Tigo TS4 devices and send it to Tigo SMART Monitoring. It combines the indoor CCA data logger with a Tigo Access Point, which communicates wirelessly with TS4 units in the array.
The CCA connects to the TAP by wired RS485. The TAP then uses wireless mesh communication across the PV array, with TS4 units able to act as repeaters. This makes the kit suitable for installers and system owners who require module-level visibility, configuration and compatible monitoring integration.
Key features
- CCA supports up to 360 PV modules and can communicate with up to 7 Tigo Access Points (TAPs).
- TAP communicates directly with up to 300 TS4 units and supports wireless mesh communication.
- CCA supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi and optional cellular connectivity; cellular hardware is optional and sold separately.
- RS485 interfaces allow compatible third-party Modbus devices to be read and reported, including inverters, charge controllers, weather stations, smart combiner boxes and revenue-grade meters.
- Use the Tigo SMART App on iOS or Android for on-site configuration and commissioning.
Where to use
Use this Tigo CCA with TAP kit in compatible solar PV installations using Tigo TS4 module-level power electronics, where module-level monitoring and system communications are required. Typical applications include commercial rooftops, warehouses, logistics facilities and larger distributed PV systems.
The CCA is intended for indoor DIN-rail mounting. The TAP mounts at the solar array, attaching to a standard module frame without tools or with clips removed for rack mounting. Allow for the required RS485 connection between the CCA and TAP, suitable power supply, internet connection and correct TS4/TAP layout. For design, compatibility and commissioning support, please contact Energian or use a trusted installation partner.
