APSystems DS3-L Microinverter 2-to-1 (APS-DS3-L-NA-768VA)
Pickup available at Shop location
Usually ready in 2 hours
The DS3 series reaches unprecedented levels of power output. It features 2 input channels, each with independent MPPT, and encrypted wireless ZigBee communication. An innovative and compact design makes the product lighter while maximizing power production, and silicone-encapsulated components reduce stress on electronics, facilitate thermal dissipation, and enhance weatherproofing. Reliability is significantly increased thanks to 20% fewer components than previous generations. A 24/7 energy access through apps or web based portal facilitate remote diagnosis and maintenance.
The DS3 series is grid-interactive and fully compliant with CA Rule 21 requirements. With an excellent performance and high converstion efficiency, a unique integration with less components, the APsystems DS3 series is a gamechanger for residential and commercial solar.

Frequently Asked Questions — APsystems DS3-L Microinverter
What is a microinverter and how does it differ from a string inverter?
A microinverter converts DC to AC at each individual solar panel, rather than centrally at a string inverter. This means one shaded or underperforming panel does not drag down your entire array — each panel operates independently at its maximum output. The DS3-L also provides panel-level monitoring so you can see exactly how each panel is performing.
How many panels does the DS3-L connect to?
The APsystems DS3-L is a 2-to-1 microinverter, meaning each unit connects to two solar panels. This reduces the number of microinverters and trunk cable connections needed compared to 1-to-1 designs.
Does the DS3-L require a separate monitoring gateway?
Yes. The APsystems DS3-L communicates via encrypted ZigBee wireless to the APsystems ECU-R gateway, which aggregates system data and connects to the APsystems EMA monitoring platform. The ECU-R is sold separately.
Is the DS3-L compatible with high-wattage panels?
Yes. The DS3-L is rated for panels up to 384W per input channel. It is compatible with most standard residential and commercial solar panels. Always verify compatibility with your specific panel's Voc and Isc ratings.
What certifications does the DS3-L carry?
The APsystems DS3-L is UL 1741 listed and meets NEC rapid shutdown requirements. Always verify local utility interconnection requirements with your installer.
