Come and explore the latest solutions from APsystems and APsmart at ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2023, taking place from August 30th to September 1st at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand.

ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2023 (ASEW) stands as ASEAN’s most comprehensive exhibition focusing on energy and the environment, providing a premier business platform and meeting point for manufacturers to showcase cutting-edge technologies in the APAC region. Visit us at Booth #MM51, where we’ll be presenting our revolutionary distributed PV+energy storage application solutions, including the micro-DIY balcony storage solution, small and medium-sized residential storage solutions, and our DC MLPE products – rapid shutdown devices.

For the DIY Balcony scenario, you’ll have the opportunity to see APsystems’ latest EZ1 products on display for the first time in the Southeast Asian countries, alongside the PPS product, forming an integrated solar+storage solution. The Wi-Fi & Bluetooth versions of the EZ1 series represent APsystems’ 3rd generation of dual microinverters, featuring 2 input channels with independent MPPT, high input current, and output power to adapt to today’s larger power modules. Using an AC extension cable, the EZ1 series can be plugged into a socket to start outputting energy, providing a truly easy and convenient grid connection. With integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, users can commission, monitor, and diagnose the system through a cellphone app.

For residential scenarios, APsystems will showcase microinverters DS3, QT2 series, energy storage inverters, battery-related products, and other equipment. The AC coupling system solution is suitable for new solar+storage installations or PV systems upgraded to solar+storage systems. With the smart energy storage system, users can effectively manage home energy through a cloud platform, enhancing the self-consumption rate derived from solar energy and improving economic efficiency.

We will also display DC MLPE devices, including the dual-module Rapid Shutdown Device (RSD-D) and Transmitter-PLC. Compliant with NEC 690.12 Rapid Shutdown and SunSpec certified, the RSD-D and Transmitter-PLC offer an ideal solution for module-level rapid shutdown.

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!
