INVERTER – APS (YC500i)

Our microinverter technology individually monitors and maximizes power generation for each module in the array, boosting system efficiency by up to 20 percent. One APsystems unit handles two PV modules, lowering installation and balance-of-system costs.

Our flagship microinverter, the bestselling YC500 microinverter handles two PV modules simultaneously with dual MPPT. Up to 14 solar modules (7x YC500s) can be installed in a string with a single 20A breaker.

• Maximum Power Output: 500W (from two solar modules)
• Individual MPPT for each panel
• Peak Efficiency: 95.5%
• Dimensions: 8.6? (220mm) x 5.4? (160mm) x 1.37? (29mm)
• Weight: 5.5 lbs. (2.5kg)
• Up to 14 solar modules (7x YC500s) in a string with a 20A breaker
• 10 and 25 year warranties available
• Designed to operate in challenging real-world conditions from -40 F to 149 F.

INVERTER – APS (YC1000-3)

The world’s first true 3-PHASE 4-panel microinverter!  APsystems YC1000-3.

ENERGY COMMUNICATION UNIT

The APsystems ECU, our state-of-the-art Energy Communication Unit, 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 EMA software, the APsystems ECU gives you precise analysis of each microinverter and module in your solar installation from any web-connected device. The APsystems ECU’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.

FEATURES

• Collects individual module and microinverter statistics
• Communicates in real time
• Requires no additional wiring
• Warranty 3 years, IP30
• PLC or ZigBee communication

ENERGY MONITORING & ANALYSIS

The APsystems EMA, our robust wireless Energy Monitoring and Analysis software, enables comprehensive, web-based monitoring that analyzes and reports the performance of each module in your solar array. This real-time data can be accessed from any web-connected device, anywhere, anytime.

Unlike conventional “string” inverter systems, the APsystems EMA gives you control over each individual module and microinverter in your solar array, optimizing performance over the system’s lifetime.

Networked with the advanced APsystems ECU, the APsystems EMA promptly detects any performance issues in your solar array, pinpointing the location and nature of the problem and providing precise guidance for necessary maintenance, all within our user-friendly graphic interface.

FEATURES

• Monitors and allows analysis of each solar module and microinverter
• Allows remote access to the solar array
• Shows performance issues and alerts the user to inverter events
• Communicates in real time
• Graphs system solar output over time to boost troubleshooting
