APsystems EZ1-LV Quick Installation Guide
Your Home. Your Power. It’s that Simple.
Plug In. Power Up.
Simple, DIY solar for balconies, patios, gardens, and portable setups — no proffesional installation required. EZ1 is a plug-in microinverter is designed to make solar more accessible. If you can plug it in, you can power it.
EZ1 is designed for people who want solar without a complicated installation. It connects to two solar panels and plugs directly into a standard wall outlet, allowing you to start generating power right where you live.
No rooftop system. No complex wiring. Just simple, plug-and-play solar.
1. DIY-friendly, plug-and-play design
2. No rooftop installation required
3. Real-time monitoring on your smartphone
4. Built on proven APsystems technology
5. Designed for long-term reliability
EZ1 brings clean energy to homes that were previously left out of solar.
The APsystems EZ1 is built to make solar easy—no complicated installs, no guesswork. Just plug it into a standard wall outlet, and it starts sending power into your home right away.
Here’s the part most people don’t realize: the electricity your solar produces doesn’t go “somewhere else”—it gets used right inside your home first. When EZ1 is running, it syncs with your home’s electrical system and helps power whatever is already on—your fridge, Wi-Fi, lights, and more. That means you’re pulling less electricity from the grid, and your meter slows down. If your system produces more power than you’re using, the extra energy can flow back out to the grid, depending on your local utility setup.
Designed for balconies, patios, gardens, and other small-scale setups, EZ1 supports two solar panels with independent performance tracking for maximum energy production. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make it easy to monitor everything right from your phone.
No complicated setup. No rewiring your home.
Just plug it in and start using your own power.

Product Overview
What is the primary use case for the EZ1 Series?
The EZ1 is designed for DIY, balcony, and mobile solar applications. It is a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth integrated microinverter that simplifies connectivity by removing the need for a dedicated ECU gateway. It is ideal for smaller systems (1-2 modules) where a full residential setup is not required.
How does the EZ1 differ from the DS3 or QT2 series?
Integrated Comms: The EZ1 has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The DS3/QT2 require an external ECU (ECU-R, ECU-C, etc.) for monitoring.
Plug-and-Play: The EZ1 is designed for simplified AC connections, often using a standard plug (where code permits), whereas DS3/QT2 are hardwired for roof-mount arrays.
What is the maximum power capacity?
AC Output: The EZ1-M is rated for 800W maximum continuous output.
DC Input: It features 2 independent input channels that can handle PV modules ranging from 300W up to 730W+ each.
Installation & Connectivity
Do I need an ECU (Energy Communication Unit) to commission the EZ1?
No. You can commission the EZ1 using Direct Connect (Bluetooth) via the smartphone app.
Which app do I use to set this up?
You must use the AP EasyPower app.
Important: Do not use the standard “EMA Manager” app. EMA Manager is for professional installers setting up DS3/QT2 systems with an ECU. AP EasyPower is the dedicated app for EZ1 DIY/Single-system users.
What is the difference between "Local Mode" and "Remote Mode"?
Local Mode (Bluetooth): Used for commissioning, checking real-time data while standing near the unit, and adjusting settings. No internet required.
Remote Mode (Wi-Fi): Connects the EZ1 to the home’s Wi-Fi router. This allows the system to send data to the EMA cloud for long-term monitoring from anywhere.
Is "Plug-in" solar legal in the US?
It depends on the local jurisdiction. While the EZ1 hardware supports plug-and-play, the National Electrical Code (NEC) generally requires a dedicated branch circuit for permanent solar installations.
Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or inspector before plugging a solar system directly into a standard wall outlet for permanent use.
Can I use extension cables for the AC output?
Yes, but ensure the cable is rated for outdoor use (UV resistant, weather-sealed) and properly sized for the voltage drop over distance. Always follow local NEC guidelines regarding temporary vs. permanent wiring.
Operations & Troubleshooting
The LED is flashing Red. What does that mean?
Slow Red Flash: The inverter is producing power, but there is no communication with the cloud/app (Wi-Fi issue).
Steady Red: Critical Fault. This usually indicates a Ground Fault or hardware failure.
Action: Disconnect AC and DC, inspect cables for damage, and reconnect. If it persists, contact support.
Why does the app show "0W" output even when the sun is out?
Grid Check: Ensure the AC cable is plugged in and the breaker is ON. The EZ1 is grid-tied and will not produce power if the grid is down.
Start-up Voltage: Ensure the DC voltage from the panels is within the MPPT operating range (16V–60V).
Grid Profile: Verify the correct Grid Profile (e.g., IEEE 1547 for US) was selected during commissioning.
Pro-Tip Corner
The Bluetooth Button
If a your need to change your Wi-Fi password, you don’t need to climb up to the unit. You can reconnect via Bluetooth (standing nearby) to update the Wi-Fi credentials in the app.
Cabling
Reminder, the EZ1 uses a proprietary AC connector on the unit side—do not cut/splice this connector or it may void the warranty.
The "M" in EZ1-M
The “M” stands for Dual Input. It handles two panels at once.
