APsystems showcases the new DS3 Series at Electricity Transformation Canada 2021

/in ,

APsystems was proud to introduce the new DS3 series at the booths of our distributors Polaron Solar and HES PV at Electricity Transformation Canada last month. It was a hugely successful exhibition, and we would like to thank youfor coming to the show.

The DS3 series is grid-interactive and fully compliant with CA Rule 21 requirements. With its unparalleled performance, efficiency of 97%, and increased reliability, the DS3 series is a game changer for residential and commercial solar.

The DS3, DS3-L, DS3-S were all exhibited at the show and created tremendous interest in this new product line, including its high-efficiency, high-density power conversion to maximize the peak performance of today’s high-capacity PV modules. Also, the DS3 series is fully  backward compatible with QS1 and YC600 microinverters and accessories, which enables simpler configuration and installation.

APsystems continues to focus on strong product and market development, and has set its next goal to achieve 1GW of microinverter shipments annually.

Since its establishment, APsystems has been focusing on product quality and meeting customer needs, and has steadily achieved brand awareness and market share, building its path to 1GW. The 1GW shipment represents more than 3.5 million APsystems microinverters shipped worldwide (calculated on a single unit basis), which are expected to generate 1.24 billion kWh a year, reducing greenhouse gases by 910,000 tons of CO2 and equal to the environmental benefits of 45 million trees.

APsystems ranked No. 2 in global market share among top microinverter suppliers by shipments in 2013-2019. APsystems was founded in Silicon Valley in 2010 and has established offices and warehouses in several key regions and countries, forming a global sales and service network. With its fast and steady development over the past 10 years, APsystems maintains sustained profitability every year since 2012 due to its sound financial planning and practices.
