APsystems microinverters maximize PV energy production
Each PV module has individual Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) controls, which ensures that the maximum power is exported
to the utility grid regardless of the performance of the other PV
modules in the array. When PV modules in the array are affected
by shade, dust, orientation, or any situation in which one module
underperforms compared with the other units, the APsystems
microinverter ensures top performance from the array by maximizing
the performance of each module within the array.
More reliable than centralized or string inverters
The distributed APsystems microinverter system ensures that no
single point of system failure exists across the PV–array. APsystems
microinverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient
outdoor temperatures of up to 149°F (65°C). The inverter housing
is designed for outdoor installation and complies with the NEMA 6
environmental enclosure rating.
Simple to install
You can install individual PV modules in any combination of module
quantity, orientation, type, and power rate.
Smart system performance monitoring and analysis
The APsystems Energy Communication Unit (ECU) is installed by
simply plugging it into any wall outlet and providing an Ethernet or
Wi-Fi connection to a broadband router or modem. After installing
the ECU, 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.
(See ECU manual for instructions.)
