APsystems DS3 880W Dual-Module Microinverter | 240V | Model 117001
High-Performance Dual-Module Microinverter for Residential Solar
The APsystems DS3 880W Microinverter (Model 117001) is a powerful dual-module microinverter designed to maximize energy production while simplifying residential solar installations. Supporting today’s higher-wattage solar panels, the DS3 delivers up to 880VA continuous AC output and features independent MPPT tracking for each module, helping each panel perform at its best even when shading, dirt, or orientation differs.
Unlike traditional string inverters, the DS3 converts DC power to AC directly beneath each pair of solar panels, increasing system reliability, improving monitoring, and eliminating the single point of failure associated with centralized inverters.
Ideal for new residential systems and panel upgrades, the APsystems DS3 combines high efficiency, rapid shutdown compliance, and integrated wireless communication in a compact, durable enclosure built for decades of outdoor performance.

Why Choose the APsystems DS3?
The DS3 is engineered for modern residential solar systems using today’s larger, higher-output modules. Independent MPPT tracking helps reduce energy losses caused by shading or panel mismatch, while module-level monitoring provides detailed performance data for easier troubleshooting and long-term system optimization.
Because each microinverter operates independently, expansion is simple and system reliability is improved compared to traditional string inverter systems.
