Join APsmart at RE+ International 2022

/in , /by

APsmart invites you to stop by booth #2838 at this year’s RE+ International trade show in Anaheim, California to see its advanced solar Rapid Shutdown products, including the widely popular RSD products: the RSD-D and Transmitter-PLC with millions of units sold!

RSD-D is capable of serving two PV modules simultaneously, is quick and easy to install, and is highly cost-effective. Also, it meets NEC 2017 & 2020 (690.12) requirements, enabling the critical rapid shutdown function while simultaneously improving product cost and performance. Utilizing the RSD-D and Transmitter-PLC in solar PV installations also enables the connection between each module to be severed both remotely and manually in case of an emergency, thereby de-energizing the array and eliminating any high voltage DC hazard, which reduces the risk of accidents and improves the safety of the PV system.

Stop by booth #2838 to see this amazing APsmart product offering. We look forward to seeing you there!
