Detailed overview: APsystems EZ1-M 800 VA solar microinverter
The APsystems EZ1-M is a solar microinverter built for balcony self consumption and DIY installs. Wired between two solar panels and a household socket, it converts their DC output into 230V AC, with no work on the fuse box and no electrician required.
Its defining feature is a pair of fully independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) inputs: each panel is tracked and optimised on its own, so you can face them in different directions (east/west, or with partial shade on one) without dragging down total output. Each input accepts a panel from 300 to 730Wp, for an AC output capped at 799VA (799W), adjustable down to 600W depending on local grid rules.
Key technical specifications:
- Peak efficiency of 96.7%, MPPT efficiency of 99.5%
- MC4 connectors compatible with almost every panel on the market
- IP67 rated housing, rated for -40 to +65°C
- Compact footprint: 263 x 218 x 36.5mm for 2.8kg
- Optional 5m mains cable with a Schuko plug
Control runs through the AP EasyPower app (EMA), available over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with live production data, history and firmware updates. Unlike ecosystem plays such as the Zendure SolarFlow or EcoFlow Stream, the EZ1-M is not part of a proprietary modular storage range. It is still compatible, via a direct DC connection, with a short list of third party batteries officially listed by APsystems: the Anker E1600 (1.6kWh), the APstorage River1600 (1.6kWh) and the Sunlit BK215 (2.15kWh), for anyone who wants to store part of their production rather than lose it.
Rugged (a standard 12 year warranty), quick to install and flexible thanks to its two independent MPPT trackers, the EZ1-M suits anyone who wants a reliable balcony solar kit up and running fast, with the option of bolting on a compatible battery later rather than committing to a full storage system from day one.

Comparison
Around £120 to £150, the APsystems EZ1-M goes head to head with the most searched for balcony solar microinverters, in queries such as "EZ1-M vs SolarFlow 800" or "EZ1-M vs EcoFlow Stream". Here is how it stacks up against two alternatives already reviewed on Best Batteries: the Zendure SolarFlow 800 and the EcoFlow Stream microinverter.
| Criterion | APsystems EZ1-M | Zendure SolarFlow 800 | EcoFlow Stream |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output power | 800VA (799VA rated) | 800W | 800W |
| Solar inputs (MPPT) | 2 independent, up to 730Wp each | 2, 1200W total | 2, 1200W total |
| Weatherproofing | IP67 | IP65 | IP67 |
| Battery storage | DC compatible (Anker E1600, Sunlit BK215, up to 2.15kWh) | Expandable to 11.52kWh (AB ecosystem) | Stream ecosystem (AC, Pro, Ultra) |
| App | AP EasyPower (EMA), Wi-Fi + Bluetooth | Zendure app, Wi-Fi + Bluetooth | EcoFlow app, Eco-AI, Wi-Fi |
| Observed price | ≈£120 | £127.40 | £122.55 |
In short, the EZ1-M stands out for the full independence of its two MPPT trackers, a genuine IP67 rating and a 12 year warranty, an advantage for poorly oriented panels or an exposed mounting spot. The Zendure SolarFlow 800 and the EcoFlow Stream lean harder into a modular storage ecosystem (AB or Stream batteries), where the EZ1-M only offers DC compatibility with a handful of third party batteries. For anyone who values fine tuned flexibility and longevity over a built in, expandable storage system, the EZ1-M remains the most versatile pick of the three.

Our tester's review: Julien De Jurquet
Setting up the EZ1-M took under half an hour on our test balcony: two panels facing slightly different directions (one due south, the other shaded for part of the afternoon), the unit mounted under the railing, MC4 connectors clipped in, and the mains cable plugged into a standard socket. Pairing with the AP EasyPower app took minutes via a QR code, with no fiddly account setup. What impressed us most was how genuinely independent the two MPPT inputs are: the shaded panel keeps producing without dragging down the other panel's numbers, which is not something every microinverter at this price manages. The IP67 housing shrugged off several weeks of rain without a hitch. Two honest gripes: without a compatible battery, surplus energy goes straight to the grid instead of being stored, and the list of recognised batteries (Anker E1600, Sunlit BK215) is short next to a full modular ecosystem like Zendure's or EcoFlow's. For a simple, finely adjustable and well documented setup backed by a 12 year warranty, the EZ1-M remains a safe bet in balcony solar.
Frequently asked questions: APsystems EZ1-M 800 VA solar microinverter
Yes, it feeds solar output straight into the home like a standard microinverter. Without a compatible battery, any energy you don't use at that moment is simply lost.
Up to 730Wp per MPPT input, so two independent panels, for an output capped at 799VA (often set to 600W depending on local grid rules).
Per APsystems' official list: the Anker E1600 (1.6kWh), the APstorage River1600 (1.6kWh) and the Sunlit BK215 (2.15kWh), via a direct DC connection, with no expandable modular ecosystem.
No, the EZ1-M is plug and play: it mounts under the panels and connects to a household socket via its optional cable, within your country's permitted power limit.
Yes, its IP67 housing and -40 to +65°C operating range are built to stay mounted under the panels year round, backed by a 12 year APsystems warranty.
