Solar Spotlight: It’s no myth — microinverters work on commercial solar projects

We are excited to have participated in the recent episode of Solar Power World’s Solar Spotlight podcast, which explores the trend of microinverters in commercial and industrial solar installations. As microinverters continue to increase in capacity and can handle higher capacity PV modules, they are no longer limited to smaller residential solar projects. APsystems is at the forefront of this trend, with our new QT2 microinverter designed for use with four solar panels simultaneously, compared to conventional models designed for only one panel. During the podcast, Jason Higginson, head of marketing for APsystems USA, discusses this new breakthrough in microinverter technology and the potential benefits that they bring to the commercial and industrial solar market.
