@checking12@TexTown You can assume that all suppliers have stopped selling the old ECU-R models (out of stock). So if you buy an ECU-R check the box if the ID starts with 2162xxxxxxx. Then you are good.
Judging from articles in the news, it is currently best to take a dynamic contract.

Some explanation about the origin of the ECU-R-Pro naming: At some point APsystems released a new version of the ECU-R. Instead of ECU-ID 2160xxxxxxx these new ECU-R models have ECU-ID 2162xxxxxxx. These new models have firmware version: ECU_R_PRO_2.1.23 and that’s how the name ECU-R-Pro came about.
i was indeed checking dynamic providers, however saw only one of them not having ‘terugleverkosten’ which i thought was weird. But having control over per inverter activity, i can plan good things and never export again (or limit to certain value) when the time comes
I have been looking for an ECU with serial starting with 2162. I finally manage to get one and the software is working excellent. I can control the inverters now.
I have been in contact with some suppliers and one told me that they had 3 ecu’s starting with the number 2163xxxxxxx. So, it seems there is an even newer version available. Not sure what firmware it runs. But perhaps something to keep an eye out for.
Yes, that’s the ECU-B - this model only supports max four panels. If you plan to add panels in the future, you’d better buy an ECU-R or ECU-C (3-phase).
Hello everyone. Cool integration. Thanks for the hard work. I’m just planning my future setup. Small apartment with space for only two panels (not yet bought) attached to one APsystems DS3-H 960W microinverter (already bought). I’m now in the process to buy the ECU. I would like to avoid injection to the net so the ECU should adapt the solar production to the house consumption. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that ECU-C is able to do that (zero injection) but it is much more expensive than ECU-R or ECU-B.
So the question is: do you know if R or B models can perform “zero injection”? Which ECU would you buy in this small setup? Thanks for your feedback.
B definitly not.
R newer version you will be able to control yourself.
C can do more on its own by using clamps (2nd hand around 200 Eur i’ve seen), still thinking if i like that more then new R type and do it myself
