Tigo Provides PV System Owners With Voice-Controlled Energy Monitoring Through Amazon Alexa

“Tigo Skill” Is First To Bring Smart Solar To Smart Homes.
Available Now in English and German.

LOS GATOS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Alexa–Tigo®, pioneer of the smart modular Flex MLPE platform, today announced
it now offers its customers the benefits of Amazon® Alexa™ technology
via the new Tigo
Skill, available on Alexa-enabled products. The Tigo Skill
integration allows English- and German-speaking Tigo customers to use
their voice to inquire about their PV production or other information
collected by Tigo’s SMART website.

Using the Tigo Skill, residential and commercial customers with
monitored PV systems can request tailored information from Alexa, the
cloud-based voice service by Amazon. For example, simply saying “Alexa,
ask Tigo how much power my PV system generated today,” will
report a day’s worth of power without the need to log in to Tigo’s SMART
website. Other voice commands include: Alexa, ask Tigo…

• what is my [Daily/Monthly/Yearly] Production Summary?
• what is my System Total Production Summary?
• what is my [Average/Peak] Energy Production?
• what is an optimizer?
• tell me about Tigo.

“Within seconds, you can know how well your PV system is producing –
without logging on to a computer or climbing on the roof,” says Maxym
Makhota, Tigo’s VP of Software Development. “Tigo Skill is the first to
bridge the gap between solar, artificial intelligence, and the Smart
Home mentality in which information is always available.”

Tigo customers now have three options to monitor their PV system: use
their voice with Tigo Skill via an Alexa-enabled device; log in to Tigo’s
SMART mobile app; or log in to Tigo’s
SMART website. Automated monitoring emails with production
notifications and reports are still sent to customers using TS4
with monitoring capabilities. The Tigo Skill is available in North
America and Europe on Alexa-enabled devices including Amazon’s Echo
Dot™, Echo™, Tap™, and via the voice remote on Fire TV™. Users can
acquire the Tigo Skill by simply searching for and enabling the Tigo
Skill in the Amazon Alexa mobile app available on iOS, Android, and Fire
tablets or by enabling
the Tigo Skill directly from Amazon’s website.
