The APsystems YC600 microinverter offers a wider MPPT voltage range, a lower startup voltage, and a higher output power even compared to two IQ6.
The Enphase IQ6 microinverter allows higher input power, higher maximum input DC voltage, and operates at slightly higher efficiency.
The specific pairing of module to microinverter in your solar project will determine which of these products is right for you.
