Is the APsystems EZ1-M the best choice for your balcony power plant?

Article published at: Dec 12, 2025

The APsystems EZ1-M microinverter is an outstanding choice for balcony power plants. With its intelligent technology, user-friendly installation, and high energy efficiency, it offers an ideal solution for private solar systems. Its easy integration and the possibility of combining it with storage units from DRBO Greenenergy make it a popular option for sustainable energy supply.

How does the APsystems EZ1-M microinverter work?

The APsystems EZ1-M converts the direct current (DC) generated by solar modules into grid-compliant alternating current (AC), which can then be used in the household or fed into the public power grid. Thanks to its MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology, the inverter maximizes energy yield, even with partial shading of the solar modules.

Compared to central inverters, the EZ1-M operates directly on each individual module, which minimizes energy losses and optimizes the performance of each panel. This efficient operation makes it a preferred choice for smaller solar systems such as balcony power plants.

What technical data does the APsystems EZ1-M offer?

The APsystems EZ1-M impresses with its compact design and high power stability. It is compatible with two solar modules up to 550 W each, which makes it particularly suitable for plug-and-play systems.

The combination of high performance, robust housing and intelligent functions makes the EZ1-M an excellent choice for private use.

Why is the APsystems EZ1-M ideal for beginners?

The EZ1-M was designed as a plug-and-play inverter and is particularly user-friendly. Thanks to the easy installation and app-based control, even beginners can quickly and easily put their balcony power plant into operation. With the EZ1 app, users always have control over the energy production and the status of their solar system.

What advantages does the EZ1-M offer over other microinverters?

The APsystems EZ1-M offers several outstanding features that set it apart from other microinverters:

  • Two independent MPP trackers for even better solar module efficiency.

  • Direct WLAN connection, no separate gateway required.

  • Robust, weather-resistant IP67 housing for use in various weather conditions.

  • Real-time monitoring of the PV system via the app.

These advantages make the EZ1-M one of the best solutions for balcony power plants that rely on efficiency and user-friendliness.

Can the APsystems EZ1-M be combined with energy storage units?

Yes, the EZ1-M can be excellently combined with storage solutions to store surplus energy. DRBO Greenenergy offers ideal systems with its SunLit energy storage units that harmonize perfectly with this microinverter. The combination of APsystems inverters and DRBO Greenenergy storage units enables users to significantly increase their self-consumption and at the same time minimize grid feed-in – an important step towards achieving energy autonomy.

What distinguishes the EZ1-M from earlier APsystems models?

Compared to older models such as the YC600, the EZ1-M offers numerous improvements. It features integrated WLAN for easy control and improved energy efficiency. In addition, the weight has been reduced, while performance has increased significantly. The EZ1-M was specially developed for the growing market of plug-and-play solar systems and meets the latest VDE standards for Germany.

How easy is the installation of the APsystems EZ1-M?

The installation of the APsystems EZ1-M is extremely simple. You can install the microinverter in just a few steps:

  1. Connect the microinverter to the solar modules.

  2. Connect the AC line to the house grid.

  3. Set up WLAN via the EZ1 View App and monitor the energy flow.

An electrician is not absolutely necessary, which makes the EZ1-M an ideal solution for tenants and homeowners. However, if you are unsure, it is advisable to have the installation checked by a specialist, such as the experts from DRBO Greenenergy.

What energy savings are realistic?

An 800 W system can generate up to 800 kWh of electricity annually, which can cover about 25% of the electricity needs of a two-person household.

Example annual yield per module

Orientation Annual yield (kWh)
South / 35° tilt 390–420
West / East 320–360
Shaded 250–280

In combination with SunLit storage units from DRBO Greenenergy, self-consumption rates of over 70% can be achieved.

Who benefits most from the APsystems EZ1-M?

  • Tenants and apartment owners who want to use solar power on their balcony.

  • Small businesses that want to generate their own electricity.

  • Sustainability-conscious consumers who want to increase their energy autonomy.

Thanks to its flexibility, the EZ1-M is suitable for almost any environment, be it on the balcony, terrace, or in the garden shed.
