APsystems introduces YC500i microinverter with EnergyMax™ designed for high-output PV modules
SEATTLE — 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 percent increase in peak power output over conventional microinverters to harvest the power of today's high-output PV modules.

EnergyMax™ technology allows the dual-module unit to produce 274 watts peak output per side (548W total), an almost 10 percent increase in peak power output over conventional microinverters to harvest the power of todays high-output PV modules.
"The new generation of solar modules demand a microinverter built to handle dramatic increases in power and output," said Andrew Nichols, senior vice president of sales, APsystems USA. "With EnergyMax™ technology, were able to match the advances in module output capacity and offer higher rates of energy production to customers."
The YC500i microinverter builds on the same advanced, FPGA chip-based platform as the popular YC500A flagship model. EnergyMax™ technology developed by APsystems maximizes the inverters 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™.
"APsystems has always endeavored to provide flexibility and choice to our installers," said Chris Barrett, director of engineering and technical services. "Some of our installers have experience utilizing a trunk cable architecture and the YC500i gives them that option in addition to our very popular daisy chain design."
The YC500i is now available for order through APsystems U.S. distribution channels. Email sales@APsystems.com for ordering information.
