1.Introduction
The APsystems Energy Communication Unit (ECU-C) 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. Through the APsystems Energy Monitoring and Analysis software, the
ECU-C gives you precise analysis of each microinverter and module in your solar
installation from any web-connected device. The ECU-C’s integrated http web
server 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.
