APsystems-Monitoring Energy Communication Unit

                     

               Energy Communication Unit

The APsystems ECU, our state-of-the-art Energy Communication Unit, is the information gateway for our microinverters. The unit collects module performance data from each individual microinverter and transfers this information to an internet database in real time, requiring only a single data and power cable. Through the APsystems EMA software, the APsystems ECU gives you precise analysis of each microinverter and module in your solar installation from any web-connected device. The APsystems ECU’s integrated http webserver offers the simplest and most flexible network integration of any data logger on the market. The user-friendly browser-based interface lets you access your solar array in seconds.

Features

  • Collects individual module and microinverter statistics
  • Communicates in real time
  • Requires no additional wiring
  • Warranty 3 years, IP30
  • PLC or ZigBee communication
