TIGO Communication Set: Cloud Connect Advanced with Access Point TAP, Power Supply and DIN Rail

Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) is an advanced data logger and communication gateway for photovoltaic installations, enabling the connection of smart modules in the cloud, remote disconnection of the string at the module level, and configuration via the Tigo Smart mobile app. The device supports up to 360 PV modules, offers Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, and extensive integration capabilities with inverters and third-party devices via RS-485 and API.

The manufacturer of the device is Tigo — a company specializing in monitoring and optimization solutions for photovoltaic systems. Cloud Connect Advanced operates under Tigo Smart OS, which allows for the launch of custom applications and integration through extensive APIs and provides mobile applications for iOS and Android.
