Solar development company Apollo Flutuantes has chosen to deploy 97,200 Tigo Energy optimizers, including the Tigo TS4-X-O MLPE line, in what the company calls Brazil’s largest floating solar plant. 

The project, scheduled for completion next December, will be located on the Lajeado Hydroelectric Power Plant reservoir in Tocantins.

The project, designed and installed by Apollo Flutuantes, includes high-albedo platforms that optimize light reflection to maximize backside energy output of the system’s bifacial modules. The Tigo TS4-X-O MLPE device that is set to be used on the project has plug-and-play support for solar modules up to 800W at 25A.

“This project brings yet another large-scale Tigo system into our portfolio, joining hundreds of monitored systems between 500 kW and 5 MW for which customers get the highest resolution insights,” says Jing Tian, chief growth officer at Tigo Energy.

“As both the size and number of solar systems increase, the amount of data they produce requires advanced monitoring and analysis software from Tigo. We are honored to serve AE Power, Apollo Flutuantes and the entire Brazilian market in this capacity.”

Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.

Yes, Lucy.  I think most of us already knew that.

It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.

They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?

Are We that Dumb?

Yes, part of this is stupidity.  But a larger part is that people who still support Trump at this point are desperate to believe whatever comes out of his mouth, regardless of how nonsensical it may be.

I wish my mother were still here so I could see where she would stand.  She was extremely well-educated, and a voracious reader, but somehow remained a Fox News viewer until the end.  I just wonder if the last 15 months may have turned her around.
