The Optimisers show power and energy, but Zero reclaimed energy. What coud be the problem?
Hello,
I got my new solar installed a couple of days ago. I have Tigo optimizers on one of my strings of 6 panels and in the dashboard, I see the Power and Energy values, but there is 0W reclaimed energy. What could be the problem here? It seems like it is configured correctly and it is showing some energy production, but nothing regarding the reclaimed energy.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Dear Kalin,
Thank you for contributing to our Tigo Community!
It's most probably because you have in your solar installation other PV modules without our optimizer.
The reclaimed Power feature is shown only if all the PV modules are equipped with power Optimizers. The reason is easily told: the current and voltage mismatches are the ones that are leading the optimization gains. Therefore to have the whole picture of the DC-DC conversion happening in the string, all the PV modules in the string must deliver information on their performance.
Hence, to have the reclaimed Power data, you would need to install TS4s on all of the PV modules in your system.
If this is not the case, please let us know, and we will investigate your system.

Hi Enzo,
Thank you for replying.
I have two strings in my system. One with 7 panels without any optimizers and one with 6 panels with optimizers. I only have the one string with 6 panels configured in the Tigo EI so from that one string all panels have optimisers installed.0 -
Here are a couple of screenshots from my system illustrating the problem.

All 6 panels from the string have Tigo optimizers installed.
