APsystems Optimizer System Introduction
The APsystems optimizer is a DC-DC converter installed between PV
modules and a central string inverter to maximize the energy harvested
from each module. It can achieve module-level Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) and plays a critical part in the whole power system.
The APsystems PV Power Optimizer system is comprised of four key
elements:
APsystems Optimizer (OPT700/OPT700L)
Inverter
APsystems Energy Communication Unit (ECU)
APsystems Energy Monitor and Analysis (EMA) web-based
monitoring and analysis system
