Introduction
The APsystems Communicator, our state-of-the-art Energy
Communication Unit (ECU), is the information gateway for our
microinverters. The unit collects module performance data from
each individual microinverter and transfers this information to
an Internet database in real time, requiring only a single data
and power cable. Through the APsystems Monitor software, the
APsystems Communicator gives you precise analysis of each
microinverter and module in your solar installation from any
web-connected device. The APsystems Communicator’s integrated
http webserver offers the simplest and most flexible network
integration of any data logger on the market. The user-friendly
browser-based interface lets you access your solar array in seconds.
