APS YC1000 microinverters chosen for Seattle college installation    

APS YC1000 microinverters power a new PV array at a Seattle-area college, a clean-energy investment with a different sort of payback: solar-savvy graduates.

 

The Education Building at North Seattle College sports a new 7.4-kW PV system, its array perched atop a rotating armature that tracks the sun across the sky each day.  

 

Anthony Sarno, system designer for Artisan Electric of Seattle, selected APS YC1000 microinverters for their true 3-phase output. The APS units tied into the building's 480-V circuit without the need for step-up transformers, in an electrical room that would have been too small to accommodate a central "string" inverter.

 

"When I saw the 480 panel, the light bulb went on," Sarno said. "I saw potential savings by using the YC1000 microinverter, and there was an element of allure to having a cutting edge product in the mix."  

 

APS and its Washington state distributor, Blue Frog Solar, provided the YC1000 microinverters below cost as a donation to the college.

 

The array will provide a dynamic learning environment for students at area colleges studying PV system and high-performance building design.
