Robinson values the QT2s for their panel-level monitoring and shutdown features, which ensure safety for himself and his team, particularly during the maintenance of a large string of panels. The peace of mind these microinverters provide, both in terms of safety and client satisfaction, is a testament to their durability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Robinson also commended APsystems, stating, “APsystems microinverters are a great product that will last for years, and any future maintenance is easy. It gives us peace of mind for our clients. We enjoy working with a company dedicated to their product and are excited to meet tomorrow’s demand.”

The Russell County Public Library’s solar installation serves as a sustainable energy solution and an educational tool for the community. Apollo Solar’s involvement in the project has garnered widespread recognition for its commitment to clean energy and safety. Robinson’s passion for solar energy anddedication to his clients make him a deserving recipient of this recognition.

We commend you, Apollo Solar, for your outstanding achievement in the APsystems 2023 Solar Project of the Year Awards.

Krik Haffner, Founder & President of South Sound Solar, Discusses Quixote Village Project

In a recent project, Quixote Village, the folks at South Sound Solar, led by founder and president Kirk Haffner, demonstrated their commitment to both sustainability and humanity by powering 30 tiny homes in an effort to help shelter the houseless. Partnering with an architectural firm, Kirk and team ensured that the village was solar-ready, utilizing the latest technology to optimize energy production.

With the help of APsystems’ dual-channel microinverters, South Sound Solar was able to maximize efficiency, powering each of the tiny homes with just four solar panels. The decision to make APsystems the primary microinverter was driven by reliability and performance, a choice informed by years of experience and a commitment to delivering quality.
