Introduction:
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 an excellent performance and high converstion efficiency, a unique integration with less components, the APsystems DS3 series is a gamechanger for residential and commercial solar.
Features:
- One microinverter connects to two solar modules
- Max output power reaching 640VA, 768VA or 880VA
- Two independent input channels (MPPT)
- CA Rule 21 (UL 1741 SB) compliant
- NEC 2020 690.12 Rapid Shutdown Compliant
- Encrypted Wireless ZigBee Communication
- Phase Monitored and Phase Balanced
