QS1A Microinverter Quick Installation Guide
The sketch of QS1A support system.
All the PV modules are placed into two lines. Then put a QS1A in the middle of the two lines and make
sure it is easy to connect with four PV modules which are next to it, as well all the cables.
Step 1. Verify the grid voltage to match with microinverter rating
Step 2. The AC bus distribution
a. The AC bus is arranged at the proper position of the microinverter.
b. One end of the AC bus access junction box into power grid.
c. Wire the conductors of the AC bus: L - BROWN; N - BLUE;PE - YELLOW GREEN.
NOTE: Wiring colour code can be different according local regulation, check all the wires of the installation
before connecting to the AC bus to be sure they match.Wrong cabling can damage irreparably the
microinverters, such an issue is not covered by the warranty.
Step 3. Attach the APsystems Microinverters to the racking
NOTE: Do not place the microinverters (including DC and AC connectors) where exposed to the sun, rain or
snow, even gap between modules. Allow a minimum of 3/4’’(1.5cm.) between the roof and the bottom of the
microinverter to allow proper air flow.The racking of install microinverter must be reliably grounding.
a. Mark the location of the microinverter on the rack, with respect to the PV module junction box or any
other obstructions.
b. Mount one microinverter at each of these locations using hardware recommended by your module
racking vendor.when install microinverter, grounding washer Must be facing the racking.
Step 4. Ground the system
a. There already has earth wire inside the AC cable, thus the grounding work could be done directly by it.
a. For those areas that have special requirements, the external grounding work could be done by
grounding brackets.
Step 5. Connect the APsystems Microinverter to AC bus cable
Push the microinverter AC connector to the trunk cable connector. Listen for the "Click".

Step 8. Complete the APsystems installation map
a. Each APsystems Microinverter has removable serial number labels.
b. Peel labels off, affix one to the respective location on the APsystems installation map,and fill
in 1,2 in the label below,according to the layout on the roof..
c. The other one serial number label, posted on the solar module frame is easy to view the position.
d. After the completion of installation drawings sent to APsystems website. www.APsystems.com.
NOTE: Sequence of steps 1~8 can change for convenience of installation.
NOTE: Using APsystems' mobile app ArrayApp can make the installation and registration much
more simple.
Step 9. Start the operation
a. Turn on the AC circuit breaker on each microinverter AC branch circuit.
b. Turn on the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system will start producing power
after a two-minute waiting time.
