Downtown Seattle hosts the world’s first net zero highrise building. Powered by 300+ APsystems YC600 mico-inverters, which has a profile page on SolarAcademy, the 622 panel solar array generates about 210k kilowatt hours annually.
The microinverters are equipped with power factor control capability allowing for power factor adjustment according to utility, transformer, or battery requirements from the building’s energy storage system. The building was designed and built by the building technology company Sustainable Living Innovations. The high-rise has earned the rare Net Zero designation by the International Living Future Institute. The video about it is below.
