Other Details

COMPATIBLE WITH

Use with SMA SunnyBoy-41 and SMA Core1-41 with inverter integrated SunSpec RSD-transmitter
Use with Fronius Symo Advanced with inverter integrated SunSpec RSD-transmitter
No external boxes or gateways required, very clean and simple installation
RSD triggered with loss of AC power to the inverter

SAFE

Meets Canadian CEC 2018 64-218 requirements
Meets US NEC 2017 & 2020 (690.12) requirements
SunSpec Rapid Shutdown certified
cCSAus certified

RELIABLE

RSD ASIC Chip designed using APsystems’ IP with redundancy topology
Highly integrated SoC System on a chip design for lowest component count.
No DC:DC power conversion for the solar power. Therefore much higher MTBF compared to optimizer based systems.

FLEXIBLE

Small and light, direct solar module frame mounted with integrated clips

POWERFUL

Longer daily module operating period (15 ~ 30 minutes) due to its low minimum operation voltage (8V)
Does not interfere with global MPP tracking algorithms and shade mitigation algorithms e.g. SMA ShadeFix
Very Low power consumption

STABLE

Eliminates Unwanted AFCI Nuisance Tripping, approved and tested by SMA and Fronius
RSD-S-PLC Noise Spectrum Density is far away (isolated) from typical AFCI noise patterns
