APsystems moves U.S. main office to Austin, Texas

APsystems is moving its U.S. base of operations to Austin, Texas from its longtime home of Seattle. The new location, at 8701 North MoPac Expressway, Suite 160 in Austin, Texas, the company says, offers better proximity to customers nationwide and will serve as a central base of operations for APsystems’ U.S. business unit.

APsystems is also bringing on experienced management executive Daniel Burke as Country Director for its U.S. business unit. Burke joins APsystems from Dalkia US, EDF Group, where he served as vice president of distributed generation sales and marketing. Prior to that, he held senior management roles at Aegis Energy Services, National Waste Associates, and Windsor Marketing Group.

At APsystems, Burke will be responsible for U.S. top and bottom-line P&L, business operations management, organizational management and development, revenue and market share growth, and strategic alignment across all departments.

“While our success and growth in the U.S. has been strong, the solar market remains full of tremendous potential,” said Olivier Jacques, APsystems president of global business units and global executive vice-president. “The relocation of our U.S. main office to Austin, and the strategic hire of Daniel Burke, are foundational groundwork for the next stage of our growth and customer support in the U.S.”

APsystems continues to experience year-over-year growth in every major global market and recently passed the 2GW mark of installed capacity to date, and the 1-million-unit mark for RSD shipments under its APsmart brand. The firm will look to continue its growth trajectory with its newly introduced product line, the DS3 microinverter series, and its 3-phase offering, the QT2, arriving in the U.S. in Q3.

Here a recent episode of the Pitch, where we went in-depth on its DS3 microinverter – the most powerful microinverter out there.
