Microinverters offer a wide variety of benefits to home and commercial solar arrays.
Aps micro inverter review.
Conventional string systems only operate as efficiently as the lowest performing module meaning reduced output caused by shading leaves or dust on one module cuts output across all modules in the array.
Apsystems microinverters mark a breakthrough in solar technology making pv arrays more powerful smart reliable cost effective and safe.
About aps solar inverters aps or apsystems was founded in the usa s silicon valley in 2010 and entered the australian market in 2012 with its micro inverter product.
This is the most northern grid tied solar energy system in the americas and with such a remote installation we needed a 3 phase inverter that offered the best combination of performance reliability and price.
The pikasola micro inverter has electric transportation reaching 99 and is self cooling thanks to its aluminum alloy frame.
The company says it ranks second in the world among independent microinverter suppliers.
They typically last longer than traditional string inverters ensure that each panel is working to their maximum efficiency and will continue working individually even if one of the panels in the system is down or having less output due to environmental or electrical issues.
A handful of companies have begun.
The pikasola micro inverter can operate in temperatures ranging from 40 c to 60 c and uses super maximum power point tracking technology with a static mppt efficiency of 99 5.
Enphase is the largest producer in the world of micro inverters having introduced their first micro inverter in 2006 you can read about enphase s history here apsystems was founded three years later in 2010 in silicon valley where renvu is also located and has been making their mark with innovative micro inverters putting out the first dual panel micro inverter on the market.
