Complete Grid-Tie Solar Kit – [18 x 400Watt] Tier-1 Solar Panels + 10 x DS3-S Microinverters | 7,200W of Solar + Includes Communication Gateway [MIK-PRO] MIK

This 4,800 watt microinverter solar kit is a great mid range power option. The 18 x 400W solar panels will fit nicely on almost any roof and the power they produce will be enough to offset a good portion of your electricity usage each month. From lighting, television and kitchen appliance uses to more. Easily expandable in the future as well if you ever want to add more solar panels.

The 800-990kWh of power generated by the MIK-PRO solar kit is perfect for those looking to offset more than half of the average homes electricity usage, depending on how conservative you are. The average American uses just over 900kWh of electricity per month. Based on that average, this system could provide 80-90% of that, for free. If you’re a below average consumer, this solar power system might cover your entire electric bill.

Why APsystems Microinverters?

APsystems offers advanced, powerful solar microinverter technology for residential and commercial systems. The APsystems microinverter solution combines highly efficient power inversion with user-friendly monitoring to bring you reliable, sustainable energy. 

POWERFUL

APsystems microinverter installations are typically 5-15 percent more efficient than comparable “string” systems. That’s like having more solar modules on your roof with the same-sized array.

SMART

The APsystems Energy Monitoring and Analysis, or EMA software allows around-the-clock management of your solar array through any web-enabled device, like your home computer or smartphone.

COST EFFECTIVE

The APsystems microinverter is the affordable, flexible solution for your solar power array. The compact, independent design allows easy installation on virtually any available surface, and because it is an integrated system, the APsystems microinverter solution simplifies system design. Solar arrays can be easily expanded at any time, hassle-free.

The savings don’t stop there – APSystems microinverters track multiple PV modules (2 panels per micro in this kit) meaning you need half the inverters and half the installation means real cost savings for your residential or commercial solar power system.

SAFE

APsystems Microinverters tie directly to the low-voltage DC module, enhancing homeowner safety and eliminating the possibility of high-voltage “arc” fires. All APsystems products undergo rigorous factory testing, evaluation and field tracking, and are built to a 25-year design life.

APSystems DS3 Microinverter Features:

What is so unique about these new microinverters? The DS3 series utilizes a new architecture that can manage far higher capacities of PV modules than conventional 1:1 microinverters.

The DS3-S and DS3-L have also been specifically designed to maximize the output on each residential circuit. Compared with competing devices, the DS3-S has up to 37% more AC output and the DS3-L up to 60% more output power per channel than conventional microinverters. For many installers around the world, the new DS3 series has become a strong competitive advantage helping them save money while winning more business.

APsystems – ECU-R, Zigbee CommunicationGateway for YC600I

The APsystems ECU-R is a state-of-the-art Energy Communication Unit. It is the information gateway for your microinverters. The unit collects module performance data from each individual microinverter and transfers this information to an internet database in real time, requiring only a single data and power cable.

Through the APsystems EMA software, the APsystems ECU gives you precise analysis of each microinverter and module in your solar installation from any web-connected device. The APsystems ECU’s integrated http webserver offers the simplest and most flexible network integration of any data logger on the market.

The user-friendly browser-based interface lets you access your solar array in seconds.
