APsystems Optimizer System Introduction
This integrated system improves safety, maximizes solar energy harvest,
and increases system reliability.
The APsystems Optimizer increases PV energy
production by 5%-25%
Each APsystems PV Power Optimizer is individually connected to one or two solar
modules. Each PV module has individual Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT) controls, which ensures that the optimum power is exported
to the utility grid regardless of the performance of the other PV modules
in the array. When PV modules in the array are affected by shade, dust,
orientation, or any situation in which one module underperforms
compared with the other units, the APsystems optimizer ensures top
performance from the array by maximizing the performance of each module.
The APsystems Optimizer system is reliable, safe
and simple to install
APsystems PV Power Optimizers are installed to work with a string / central
inverter. They are designed to operate at full power at ambient outdoor
temperatures of up to 149°F (65°C). The inverter case is designed for
outdoor installation and complies with the IP67/NEMA 6P environmental
enclosure rating.
Smart system performance monitoring and analysis
The performance trends and data of APsystems PV Power Optimizers can be
monitored and analyzed with the APsystems Energy Communication Unit
(ECU) and APsystems Energy Monitor and analysis (EMA). The EMA software
informs you of abnormal events, and controls system shutdown when it
is needed.
