A time-of-use rate is an electricity pricing plan where energy costs vary by time of day, usually charging more during peak demand periods.

A truck roll is a field service visit; in solar projects it provides useful context for design, installation, service, or ownership.

Tigo TS4-A is an add-on MLPE platform for PV modules up to 725 W, with models for optimization, monitoring, and/or rapid shutdown depending on the suffix.

Tigo TS4-A-F is a dedicated add-on rapid shutdown MLPE device for one PV module up to 725 W; it does not optimize, it focuses on module-level fire safety and code compliance.

Tigo TS4-A-M is a legacy add-on MLPE device that provided module-level monitoring without optimization.

Tigo TS4-X-S is an MLPE safety and monitoring device for high-wattage modules up to 800 W, 25 A Isc, and 20 A Imp; it provides module-level monitoring and rapid shutdown without optimization.

High-resolution module-level telemetry; it supports system visibility, commissioning, troubleshooting, or ongoing performance review.

Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) is a global third-party safety science organization certifying many electronic devices.

PV system without intentional grounding; in solar projects it provides useful context for design, installation, service, or ownership.

Avoid using “unit” when a more precise term such as module, MLPE, inverter, battery, or device would be clearer.

Utility rate escalation is the increase in electricity prices over time, often modeled as an annual percentage in solar savings calculations.

A virtual power plant is a network of distributed energy resources, such as batteries or solar systems, coordinated to provide grid services.

Voltage at maximum power point; in PV design it helps verify equipment ratings, wiring, and safe operating limits.

The voltage of a PV module when a load is applied to the string, i.e., the PV inverter is producing power.

Open circuit voltage of module; in PV design it helps verify equipment ratings, wiring, and safe operating limits.

The voltage of a PV module when no load is applied, i.e., the PV inverter is not producing.

Weight is the mass of a device or component, important for shipping, handling, mounting, and structural planning.

TS4 → TAP wireless communication network; it affects how stored energy is charged, discharged, backed up, or valued.
