APsystems DS3-L Microinverter
OverviewAPsystems’ DS3-L mounts neatly on standard solar rails behind each panel, turning its DC output into clean 240 V AC power for your Canadian grid-tie system. Because each panel has its own “mini inverter,” shade or debris on one module won’t drag down the whole array—ideal for maximizing yield in Ontario, Alberta, B.C., Québec, and beyond.
Key Features & Specifications
Dual PV Inputs & Independent MPPT
Connect up to two separate panel strings per microinverter. Each string’s “sweet spot” voltage (25 V–55 V) is tracked independently—even if one string faces east and the other west, or one sees shade—so you still harvest up to 99.5 % of each panel’s potential.

Fun Fact & Sizing TipSolar panel voltage drops on scorching summer days and spikes on frigid winter mornings. To prevent your DS3-L from over-voltage trips, keep panel Voc below 60 V. We recommend undersizing Voc by 25 % (aim for ≈45 V) for reliable, year-round operation in Canada’s cold climates.
Why It’s Ideal for Canadian Solar
Maximize Net Metering: Boost yields on homes and businesses participating in Ontario’s Net Metering, Alberta’s Solar Rebate Program, B.C.’s Clean Energy Incentive, Québec’s Novoclimat, and the federal Canada Greener Homes Grant.
Lower Electricity Bills: Module-level optimization means more kilowatt-hours; more kWh = bigger savings against rising hydro and natural gas rates.
Carbon Tax Savings: Produce your own clean energy and shrink your grid-tied footprint to save on Canada’s carbon levy.
Equip your solar PV Canada installation with the APsystems DS3-L and enjoy panel-level efficiency, robust Canadian climate performance, and hassle-free monitoring—all backed by APsystems’ 24/7 technical support and North American warranty service.
