Microinverter for high-output PV modules

APsystems extends its advanced microinverter line with the new YC500i with EnergyMax power handling and integrated ground, now available in North America. EnergyMax technology allows the dual-module unit to produce 274 watts peak output per side (548W total), an almost 10% increase in peak power output over conventional microinverters to harvest the power of today's high-output PV modules. The YC500i microinverter builds on the same advanced, FPGA chip-based platform as the YC500A flagship model. EnergyMax technology developed by APsystems maximizes the inverter's power output for higher energy harvest across the solar array. The YC500i utilizes a trunk cable, offering installers an alternative to the daisy-chain design of APsystems YC500A microinverters. This provides a solution for installers who favor trunk cable architecture as well as markets where regulatory bodies prefer an integrated ground. APsystems customers with a cabling preference can now choose-daisy-chain connection with the YC500A or trunk cable connection with the new YC500i with EnergyMax.
