APsystems Installer Tool ArrayApp Operation Manual


INTRODUCTION

The ArrayApp is an application designed to help simplify and


streamline APsystems microinverter installations, making it possible
for installers to complete the entire customer registration process
and microinverter array mapping before, during or after the project
installation.

NOTE: It is extremely important to note that youll need to make a


decision on whether to use the ArrayApp, or the online APsystems
Energy Management Analysis program BEFORE stepping through
the registration process. Registration entries made in the EMA are not
reflected in the ArrayApp.

Things youll need:


Either an Android device (4.0 or above) or an Apple iOS device
with an active data account
The ArrayApp application (see TO SIGN ONTO THE
ARRAYAPP)
An APsystem EMA Installer Account
All the customer information (Username, password, address,
etc.) to create and register an account.

This document assumes a working knowledge of the online APsystems


Energy Management Analysis (EMA) program.
