New SMA inverters now compatible with APsmart rapid shutdown equipment

APsystems has announced that the new SMA inverters are compatible with its Sunspec standard-compliant Photovoltaic Rapid Shutdown Equipment (PVRSE). The full range of APsmart RSD-S and RSD-D devices are fully compatible with the SMA SB-1SP-US-41 inverter series ranging from 3 kW to 7.7 kW, and the STP-US-41 commercial three-phase inverter series ranging from 33 kW to 62 kW.

Solar professionals in the United States can now combine the complete range of SunSpec Rapid Shutdown-certified SMA inverters with a reliable, safe and cost-effective APsmart Rapid Shutdown solution. Available throughout APsmart U.S. distribution partner networks, the APsmart RSD has been certified by CSA to meet the UL 1741 standard for electrical safety.

The RSD-D, a key component of a Photovoltaic Rapid Shutdown Solution (PVRSS) to meet NEC rapid shutdown requirements, is capable of serving two PV modules simultaneously. The RSD-D meets NEC 2014, 2017 & 2020 (690.12) requirements, enabling the critical rapid shutdown function, while simultaneously improving product cost and performance.

APsmart Rapid Shutdown solutions are now compatible with more than 150 inverter models from 14 unique brands, including Chint, CSI, Delta, FIMER, Fronius, Goodwe, Growatt, LG, POMcube, Q CELLS, SMA, SolaX, Solis and Solectria.
