APsystems YC1000-3-220 System Introduction
This integrated system improves safety; maximizes solar energy harvest; increases system
reliability, and simplifies solar system design, installation, maintenance, and management.
APsystems Microinverters maximize PV energy production
The APsystems microinverter ensures top performance from the array by maximizing the
performance of the module within the array when PV modules in the array are affected by
shading.
More reliable than centralized or string inverters
The distributed microinverter system ensures that no single point of system failure exists
across the PV system. APsystems microinverters are designed to operate at full power at
ambient temperatures of up to +65°C (+149° F). The inverter housing is designed for outdoor
installation and complies with the IP67 environmental enclosure rating.
Simple to install
You can install individual PV modules in any combination of module quantity, orientation,
different type and power rate (check on-line module compatibility or contact APsystems).
Smart system performance monitoring and analysis
The APsystems Energy Communication Unit (ECU) is installed by simply plugging it into any
wall outlet and providing it with an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to a broadband router. After
installing and setting the ECU (see ECU manual), the full network of APsystems
Microinverters automatically reports to the APsystems Energy Monitor and analysis (EMA)
web server. The EMA software displays performance trends, informs you of abnormal events,
and controls system shutdown when it is needed. Reference the ECU Manual for installation
and operation instructions.
