The APsystems YC500i with EnergyMaxTM is a grid-tied microinverter with intelligent networking and monitoring systems to ensure maximum efficiency. Highly dependable and cost effective, the YC500i with EnergyMaxTM is optimized to accommodate today’s high output PV modules effectively with up to 548W output and dual MPPT. An integrated ground allows for rapid installation for installers who prefer trunk cable architecture. Half the inverters and half the installation time means real cost savings for residential and commercial customers. 500i plug & play.
APsystems YC600 Microinverter
• Dual-module microinverter with independent MPPT
• Utility-interactive with Reactive Power Control (RPC)
• CA Rule 21 compliant
• Continuous power of 274VA per channel, 300VA peak
• Accommodates modules from 250-365W+
• Wide MPPT voltage range (22V-48V)
• Meets NEC 2014/2017 690.12 Rapid Shutdown requirements
• ZigBee communication & free monitoring
With its groundbreaking design and features, the YC600 is the pinnacle of microinverter technology. A single-phase, smart grid-compliant microinverter, the YC600 serves two modules with dual, independent MPPT. Zigbee wireless communication over a mesh network offers faster data speeds than PLC and a wider MPPT voltage range results in a greater energy harvest for homeowners.
A true utility-interactive microinverter with Reactive Power Control (RPC) technology, the YC600 meets CA Rule 21 requirements and is inherently NEC 2014/2017 Rapid Shutdown compliant. The unit also builds on the successful APsystems line of multi-module microinverters, simplifying installation and reducing logistics costs.

Smart Controller
NEW: APsystems Battery Charger/Controller for YC500 series.
While APsystems microinverters remain compatible with a wide variety of storage solutions, our engineers took a look at a few microinverter firmware features which could enhance compatibility with storage solution components like Victron’s battery charger. Through a power output frequency shift, the charge controller is able to gradually ratchet the amount of solar energy provided to the batteries up or down, as opposed to a simple on/off operation, resulting in a smoother charging process and improved battery life.
