APS Microinverters are the safe choice to meet NEC 2014 standards

New electrical safety standards for solar equipment are here, and APS Microinverters meet these tough new demands out of the box. Under the new National Electrical Code (NEC) 2014, PV system circuits must include a Rapid Shutdown function to cut off the flow of current in case of an emergency. The new standards protect system installers […]

APS Microinverters lead the industry in innovation, flexibility

APS Microinverters are the new choice for PV system designers and installers across the solar industry. Why? The tremendous advantages that APS Microinverters offer over traditional “string” units is no secret: optimized yield thanks to individual module output, monitoring and control (no more “shading” effects crippling a whole array); flexibility of system design, and ease of installation […]

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 […]
