EZ1 VOICES: NAZ Part 2: Expanding Plug-In Solar with the APsystems EZ1

After demonstrating how simple it is to get started with plug-in solar, the team at NAZ Solar Electric took their APsystems EZ1 installation to the next level by expanding from two solar modules and one microinverter to a four-panel system using two EZ1 microinverters.

The project highlights one of the key advantages of plug-in solar: scalability. Homeowners can start with a small system and add additional solar capacity as their energy goals evolve.

In this installation, NAZ Solar Electricdemonstrates how adding more solar modules can help maximize energy production throughout the day. By pairing 1,600 watts of solar with a power-limited output setting, the system is able to reach its maximum allowable output earlier in the morning and maintain that output later into the afternoon, helping increase overall energy harvest.

The video also covers practical installation considerations, including power cord requirements and how the APsystems monitoring app can be used to adjust system output to comply with local regulations where plug-in solar limits apply.

“By adding more solar capacity, we can reach our maximum output sooner and maintain it longer throughout the day.”

For homeowners exploring plug-in solar, this project demonstrates how the APsystems EZ1 platform can grow alongside their energy needs while maintaining the simplicity and flexibility that make balcony and plug-in solar so appealing.
