APsystems EZ1 Plug-in Microinverter

APsystems

Start solar without a rooftop installation, expensive permits, or hiring a contractor. The APsystems EZ1 plug-in solar microinverter connects directly to a standard wall outlet and begins generating power right away, making it a practical entry point into DIY solar for renters, apartment dwellers, and homeowners who want to explore solar before committing to a full system. The EZ1 features a dual-input design with two independent MPPT channels that optimize output from each of your two solar panels individually. The unit is weatherproof and includes both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can monitor real-time production directly from your phone without needing an external gateway. This is a starter-tier inverter priced at $325, well suited for balconies, patios, gardens, and sheds — anywhere you have sunlight and access to an outlet. It pairs well with a small plug-in solar setup and can serve as a low-commitment way to offset a portion of your electricity use. Check with your local building authority about any installation requirements in your area before setting up a permanent arrangement.
