AP Systems DS3-L Dual Microinverter 768VA (SKU Part Number DS3-L-NA-768VA)

APsystems 3rd generation of dual microinverters are reaching unprecedented power outputs of 640VA (DS3-S), 768VA (DS3-L) or 880VA (DS3) to adapt to today's larger power module. With 2 independent MPPT, encrypted ZigBee signals, the DS3-S, DS3-L and DS3 benefit from an entirely new architecture and are fully backwards compatible with the QS1 and YC600 microinverters. The innovative and compact design make the product lighter while maximizing power production. The components are encapsulated with silicone to reduce stress on the electronics, facilitate thermal dissipation, enhance waterproof properties, and ensure maximum reliability of the system via rigorous testing methods including accelerated life testing. A 24/7 energy access through Apps or web based portal facilitate remote diagnosis and maintenance. The DS3 series is interactive with power grids through a feature referred to as RPC (Reactive Power Control) to better manage photovoltaic power spikes in the grid. With a performance and an efficiency of 97%, a unique integration with 20% less components, APsystems DS3-S, DS3-L and DS3 are a game changer to residential and commercial PV. APsystems' 3rd generation of dual-module microinverters, the DS3 product family represents the culmination of years of power conversion expertise and innovation in high-efficiency, high-density power conversion to maximize the peak performance of today's high-capacity PV modules. The DS3 series reaches unprecedented levels of power output. It features 2 input channels, each with independent MPPT, and encrypted wireless ZigBee communication. An innovative and compact design makes the product lighter while maximizing power production, and silicone-encapsulated components reduce stress on electronics, facilitate thermal dissipation, and enhance weatherproofing. Reliability is significantly increased thanks to 20% fewer components than previous generations. A 24/7 energy access through apps or web based portal facilitate remote diagnosis and maintenance. The DS3 series is grid-interactive and fully compliant with CA Rule 21 requirements. With its unparalleled performance, efficiency of 97.3%, and increased reliability, the APsystems DS3 series is a gamechanger for residential and commercial solar.
