Community solar project hits 50kW with APS microinverters
/in Case Studies, General News/by APsystems TeamDemand for shares in an eastern Washington community solar installation was so strong, sponsoring utility Inland Power & Light boosted capacity with a second array.
The project’s second phase, completed in late March, added a 20 kW ground-mount array to the existing 30 kW array that went into service last fall
“The project sold out immediately,” said John Francisco, chief of energy resources for Inland Power.
Unit holders will get credit for their portion of the array’s power production, along with a pro rata rebate from the state under Washington’s Renewable Energy Cost Recovery program.
Inland Power & Light serves about 39,000 residential and commercial customers in 13 counties in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Founded in 1937, it is the largest electric cooperative in Washington.

APS is prime sponsor of GTM Solar Summit in Phoenix, April 14-16
/in Events, General News/by APsystems TeamGlobal microinverter technology leader APS is among the prime sponsors of this year’s GTM Solar Summit, April 14-16 in Phoenix.
APS will serve as exclusive Registration Sponsor throughout the event, which brings together key leaders from throughout the solar industry for market analysis and exchange.
APS USA Senior Vice President of American Operations Paul Barlock will be a featured panelist during summit’s first full day of events, April 15.
Barlock will appear in a panel discussion on “Dynamics in the Distributed PV Inverter Market,” beginning at 2:15 p.m. The panel will be moderated by MJ Shiao, director of solar research for GTM Research.
APS is exclusive sponsor of the day’s second track of presentations, including this panel discussion, under the broad theme of PV Inverter Advancement.
APS will also present its advanced microinverter line in the summit exhibition space throughout the event.
To set up a meeting with the APS team during the GTM Solar Summit event, come by the exhibit or email sales@apsamerica.com.
Showcased at the event will be the groundbreaking YC1000 microinverter line, offering true 3-phase output and handling four PV modules per unit. The 1:4 microinverter-to-module ratio significantly lowers BOS costs.
Unlike other microinverter products entering the commercial segment, the YC1000 line requires no expensive step-up or step-down transformer to operate.
The YC1000 is available in both 208V and 277/480V configurations, and is now shipping in all APS markets.
“The YC1000 is the solution commercial-scale solar has been waiting for,” Barlock, said. “APS innovation is making microinverters viable in the 3-phase commercial segment for the first time.”

Five common mistakes that can ruin your PV installation
/in Press Coverage/by APsystems TeamYou don’t understand the voltages of microinverters in relation to modules. Microinverters operate in a specific voltage window, and give optimal performance with modules designed for the same range. Having an undersized or oversized module may affect production and potentially cause output “clipping.”
Mistake No. 2:
You think of monitoring as an “add-on” rather than an integral part of the system. The homeowner likes to know the solar array is working properly and efficiently, and the installer needs it to help diagnose problems (and possibly gives the installer a way to sell a service package). Some installers do not include monitoring in their installations, which leaves both installer and homeowner flying blind. Make monitoring a priority.
Mistake No. 3:
You install the gateway device in a poor location. Communication units that relay module performance data need to be sited properly to facilitate strong Power Line Communication between the PV system components.
Mistake No. 4:
You set up the communication unit incorrectly. Always make sure to designate inverter numbers and configure local grid parameters properly, to prevent crosstalk with other systems in the area.
Mistake No. 5:
You don’t know your local codes and jurisdictions. Some inspectors may be using 2008, 2011 or 2014 NEC codes, based on state adoption. This could affect the connections and any safety measures needed. Always make friends with the inspector.
