APS launches YC1000, industry’s first 3 phase, 4 panel microinverter at SPI 2014

 

2014-SPI-APSBooth-sig

APS will bring its groundbreaking new microinverter, the YC1000, to SPI in Las Vegas, Oct. 21-23. Be the first to see this 3-phase, 4-panel unit for large-scale commercial applications.

APSYSTEMS-inverterWe’ll be at booth #3124 with the YC1000 on display and ready to order. Our microinverters will also be featured by tenKsolar at their SPI booth, #1439.

What happens in Vegas … changes the solar industry. Email sales@apsamerica.com to set up a meeting with our sales team during SPI and this major event in solar microinverter technology. Datasheets and other information are available now at apsamerica.com.

APS Introduces the New Installation App: ArrayApp

APS streamlines the solar microinverter installation process with the new ArrayApp, now available for Apple iOS devices. This mobile application allows APS-certified solar installers to complete the entire registration process while still at the job site. For use with all APS Microinverter products and systems.

arrayapp

App Details:

·         Simple and efficient registration collection process, including the capture and recording of all the required ECU and inverter data.

·         Bar code scanner integration for quick, easy, and accurate inverter UID collection.

(You can input inverter UID with professional scanner with Bluetooth or smart phone camera.)

·         Inverter mapping.

·         Information capture regardless of Internet connectivity. Can save information at the job site and sync up with the APS EMA when connectivity is available at a later time.

3-PHASE YC1000 – COMING SOON

It’s almost here, and only from APS– the world’s first true 3-phase microinverter:

  • Output ranging from 208v up to 480v
  • Works with 3 or 4 PV modules per unit
  • Programmable up to 480v
  • Up to 13 units in a string (52 modules)

APS Microinverter is UL approved

The APS Microinverter YC200-NA received the American UL certificate on December 8th, 2011.  Having already received the CQC, TUV and SAA certificates, this latest international recognition marks an important milestone approving the APS Microinverter for the North American solar power market.

APS establishes “100 Schools Solar Roof Program”

Recently, APS established the “100 Schools Solar Roof Program” in Jiaxing, installing PV systems with APS Microinverters on Jiaxing’s Shiyan primary school and Jiaxing’s San Shui Wan primary school. Because APS Microinverters were used, the PV system was quickly and easily installed, and the installation did not disrupt classes. The system emits no high-voltage DC electricity, guaranteeing the students’ safety. The Energy Monitor and Analysis (EMA) System developed by APS combines two functions: PV system monitoring and student education. Students experience how modern science and technology can change their lives, including how to lower their carbon emissions and protect the environment. It is our hope that this project be carried out at many other schools in Jiaxing.

APS launches its second-generation microinverter

APS ’ newest microinverter, model YC-250, will have peak efficiency of up to 95.5%, a minimum operating voltage of 16V, a maximum operating voltage of 55V, increased energy gain, and be more widely applicable. The YC-250 is 40% smaller and 40% lighter than APS ‘soriginal microinverter.The newest Energy Control Unit, ECU-3, will host a local connection, include wired Internet access, and have optional general packet radio service (GPRS) connectivity. Each microinverter can be monitored through a wired or wireless Internet or GPRS connection. APS unveiled its new AC BUS cable, a continuous cable with pre-installed cable branches connected to APS Microinverters. This creates a PV system with no single point of failure. To replace or add a microinverter, simply unplug the AC cables for a convenient, cost-effective solution. APS will keep pace with the inverter industry and continue to launch new products to meet market and consumer demands.
