APsystems microinverter DS3-H 960W

The third generation of dual APsystems microinverters is achieving unprecedented output powers of 960W maximum, it is a single-phase grid-connected microinverter. With a performance and efficiency of 97.3%.

Featuring 2 independent MPPTs, encrypted Zigbee signals. The new DS3 series is interactive with the electrical grids through a function called RPC (Reactive Power Control) to better manage photovoltaic power peaks on the grid.

It has an IP67 protection rating for installation on rooftops under the panels. It does not include fans and its noise level is extremely low.

The power of the photovoltaic field is oversized by 25%.

It comes with a 10-year warranty standard for maximum profitability.

Technical Features

The third generation of dual microinverters from APsystems is achieving unprecedented output powers of up to 960W, making it a single-phase grid-connected microinverter. It boasts a performance and efficiency of 97.3%. It supports solar panels ranging from 300W to 660W, with a maximum input voltage of 60V.

As stated, regulations DO NOT allow connecting this equipment to a plug due to its output being less than 800W. According to RD244/19 and REBT, the output must be connected with an independent line and a differential protection.

It is worth noting that it supports up to 20A of maximum current, making it compatible with M12 210mm cell solar panels. In any case, we recommend using the compatibility calculator.

These inverters are designed to be oversized, allowing the use of panels up to 660W, with the only caveat being that production may be slightly reduced depending on orientation, tilt, and time of year. Please contact us for guidance. An informative file on oversizing is attached.

OVERSIZING MANUAL

Along with the microinverter, the Y3AC cable must be purchased for connection, any manipulation of the cable and connector that comes with the microinverter may void the warranty.

This product is designed for installers, and the original packaging is for four microinverters, so if an order is placed for a smaller quantity, the packaging will be OEM.

It is a high-quality product with compact dimensions of 262x218x41 mm.

The microinverters offer great versatility, as they have independent MPPT for maximum efficiency from the panels at all times.

It allows combining DS3, QT2, and YC600 in the same system, making it possible to expand the installation at any time, as long as the 20A limit on the AC bus is not exceeded.

The equipment must be purchased with a ECU communication unit. It is necessary not only for monitoring the equipment but also for configuring the network code and updating the firmware. To exercise the warranty, the communication unit must be installed.

Operation Modes

  • Grid Connection: This microinverter operates connected to the grid, synchronizing with it. It can be placed in existing inverter installations. In case of a power outage, the equipment will disconnect.
  • Isolated: This microinverter does not operate in off-grid mode.
  • AC-Coupling: This inverter can operate in AC-Coupling with Victron Multiplus inverters. It is installed in the AC-Out of the inverter. When the battery is full, the Multiplus increases the frequency and stops the microinverter from producing. In a few months, an update will be available that includes a specific network code for this operation, so that it can perform Frequency Shifting. With this operation, the microinverter will regulate to produce only the power demanded by the load instead of cutting off.

Batteries

APsystems is preparing a line of products related to energy storage. Once they are available, we will update the catalog. Until then, if you need an installation with energy storage units, you can opt for other products from El Almacén Fotovoltaico, such as SOLIS RAI or VICTRON MultiPlus II.

Product Protections

Accessories

Monitoring

The inverter DS3 has wireless connectivity, communications via Zigbee protocol, and connects to the monitoring systems Ecu-c, Ecu-B, and Ecu-r. These communicate wirelessly with our mobile device for commissioning and detailed monitoring.

Configuration and monitoring are done through the mobile EMA application, available for both IOS and Android.

Warranty

The inverter comes with a 10-year warranty. The warranty is applicable as long as the device has been used following the recommendations and respecting compatibility between parts. The warranty can be extended to 20 years for a small fee by contracting it on our website.
