Step 6 - Completing the APS Installation Map

Fill in the APS Registration Cards, which provide system information

and the installation map. Feel free to provide your own layout if a

larger or more intricate installation map is required. The layout map

provided is designed to accomodate labels in vertical or horizontal

orientation to meet all the field PV connections.

1.

Each APS Microinverter has removable serial number labels.

Peel a label off, and affix it to the respective location on the

APS installation map.

2.

Fill out the warranty cards and email to APS at emasupport@

altenergy-power.com

3.

APS will create the EMA account and email you the account

information. Then you can use the EMA website to view

detailed performance of your PV system.
