How simple is plug-in solar? Solar Surge put the APsystems EZ1 to the test.

Watch as Joe Ordia of Solar Surge connects two solar panels to one EZ1 microinverter, plugs it into a standard 120V outlet and immediately starts producing around 480 watts of power.

That solar energy helps power whatever is drawing electricity in the home at that moment—reducing the amount needed from the grid. Joe also walks through connecting the EZ1 to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for real-time monitoring through the app.

Plug-in solar is building serious momentum across the U.S.—and now all eyes are on California.

Nine states have already passed laws expanding access—and California could be next.

SB 868, the Plug and Play Solar Act, would open the door for more homeowners and renters to generate their own power with safe, qualifying plug-in solar systems. And with California joining the movement, that momentum could get a whole lot bigger.

Simpler solar. Greater access. A growing movement we’re proud to support with the APsystems EZ1 plug-in microinverter.

A sunny spot + a standard outlet = room to harvest solar energy!

Garage, porch, shed, fence, pergola or backyard—the APsystems EZ1 plug-in microinverter lets homeowners and renters get creative with plug-in solar.

Connect one or two solar panels, plug the EZ1 into an outlet, and monitor your energy production through built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. No separate monitoring device. No subscription.

Solar really can be that EZ!

Monitoring a Balcony Solar System is EZ.

With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the EZ1 Series microinverter connects directly to a phone through the AP EasyPower App.

Users can view real-time power generation data via Bluetooth, while Wi-Fi sends data to the cloud for remote monitoring, making it easier to manage their system both locally and remotely from one app.

Designed for portable and DIY solar applications, EZ1 reduces the need for extra hardware while simplifying system setup, monitoring, and day-to-day management.

What if lowering your electric bill were as simple as plugging into the sun?

Bernadette Del Chiaro, Senior Vice President for California at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), breaks down balcony solar—and explains how solar panels, an APsystems EZ1 microinverter, and a standard outlet can turn sunlight into usable energy for the things already running in your home.

No complicated installation. Just simple, portable solar that can help offset everyday energy use.

Thanks to Bernadette and EWG for featuring the EZ1 and making plug-in solar so easy to understand!
