APsystems ECU-R Energy Communication Unit

APsystems ECU-R Energy Communication Unit and Gateway Residential Monitoring

The APsystems microinverter solution offers intelligent monitoring through the integrated APsystems EMA, our state-of-the-art Energy Communication Unit, and the APsystems EMA, our full-featured Energy Monitoring & Analysis software.

The APsystems ECU, our state-of-the-art Energy Communication Unit, is the information gateway for our microinverters. The unit collects module performance data from each individual microinverter and transfers this information to an internet database in real time, requiring only a single data and power cable. Through the APsystems EMA software, the APsystems ECU gives you precise analysis of each microinverter and module in your solar installation from any web-connected device. The APsystems ECU’s integrated http webserver offers the simplest and most flexible network integration of any data logger on the market. The user-friendly browser-based interface lets you access your solar array in seconds.

Features

• Collects individual module and microinverter statistics
• Communicates in real time
• PLC or ZigBee communication

APsystems EMA Energy Monitoring & Analysis

The APsystems EMA, our robust wireless Energy Monitoring and Analysis software, enables comprehensive, web-based monitoring that analyzes and reports the performance of each module in your solar array. This real-time data can be accessed from any web-connected device, anywhere, anytime.

Unlike conventional “string” inverter systems, the APsystems EMA gives you control over each individual module and microinverter in your solar array, optimizing performance over the system’s lifetime.

Networked with the advanced APsystems ECU, the APsystems EMA promptly detects any performance issues in your solar array, pinpointing the location and nature of the problem and providing precise guidance for necessary maintenance, all within our user-friendly graphic interface.

• Monitors and allows analysis of each solar module and microinverter

FAQs

• Is the APsystems ECU-R Communication Unit compatible with the new APsystems DS3-L microinverter?
  Yes, the APsystems ECU-R is compatible with the APsystems DS3-L microinverter.
• Will the APsystems DS3-L auto sense voltage, or is it required to be programmed through the ECU-R?
  The microinverters have to communicate and be registered through the APsystems ECU-R.
• I don't have access to broadband internet where my microinverters will be installed. Can I use an APsystems microinverter without broadband internet?
  Yes, however, not having internet will limit system operation, monitoring, trouble-shooting, updates, etc. and may affect your warranty.
• Is the ECU-R compatible with the 500 model microinverters?
  No, the ECU-R is compatible with the older 600 and YC1000 microinverters and the newer DS3 microinverters.
