In this episode of Real APtalk, APsystems’ Jeff Blick takes us inside a complete solar + storage setup in Washington state.From 15 solar panels with DS3 microinverters to the APstorage ELS 11.4k PCS (battery inverter) and 10kWh battery, Jeff walks through how everything connects — and how installers can scale up to 16 batteries for even greater power availability.
EPISODE 1: The debut episode of TEDDY Talks live from RE+ 2025 is here. Teddy Hodges sits down with Matt Lay from Infinity Solar to dive into what it takes to stand out in the solar industry—from wrapped vans and neighborhood marketing (yes, even a lemonade stand) to adopting APsystems’ microinverter and storage solutions for efficiency, safety, and long-term success.
EPISODE 2: In this second episode of TEDDY Talks live from RE+, Teddy sits down with Andrew Holmstrom of Arch Solar to explore how a Wisconsin-based company is making a national impact in solar — from award-winning projects to bold innovations like vertical solar walls and partnerships with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Located at the Nanjing International Expo Center in China, this landmark 25MW solar project spans over 150,000 square meters. It features 6,442 APsystems QT2D microinverters and more than 40,000 high-efficiency photovoltaic modules. The system is expected to generate approximately 24.8 million kWh annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 25,000 tons each year—the equivalent of planting 900,000 trees. This project sets a global benchmark for clean energy, showcasing the power of microinverter technology in driving sustainable, low-carbon development.
