RE+ Podcast - Episode 12: Dr Zhi Min Ling of APsystems

Описание: Live from RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas, welcome back to TEDDY Talks, powered by APsystems! 🎙️

In this special episode, Teddy sits down with Dr. Zhi Min Ling, Founder and Chairman of APsystems, for a rare conversation about the company’s origins, the early days of microinverters, and what it takes to build a global brand with long-term staying power.

Dr. Ling shares his path from the semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley to launching APsystems, and why the team committed to microinverters early, when the category was still niche. They discuss the core principles that shaped APsystems from the start, including safety, high efficiency, and intelligent monitoring, plus the key innovation that helped scale microinverters more broadly: multi-module architecture designed to reduce system cost through smarter design.

The conversation also covers APsystems’ evolution across multiple product generations, from early YC models to today’s platforms, plus how the company is expanding beyond hardware into full system solutions across plug-in solar, residential PV + storage, and commercial and industrial applications. Dr. Ling also highlights APsystems’ people-first culture, its localization approach across regions, and how R&D focus continues to drive innovation, including AI-enabled strategy for storage and system optimization.

To close, Dr. Ling leaves listeners with practical advice for innovators and future builders: stay persistent, think long-term, and run your business conservatively, so you can keep building year after year.
