The Morningstar TriStar MPPT charge controller’s advantage over traditional controllers is higher energy harvesting from the solar array, achieved by pulling the energy out at a much higher voltage. You can wire the solar array at 150VDC to charge a 12, 24 or 48V battery. This also allows the array cable to be smaller, the array to be placed further away and higher voltage panels to be used.
MorningStar Tristar MPPT Charge Controller
USD $472.29 – USD $739.63
Key features and benefits
- Maximizes energy harvest – superior peak power tracking over
conventional MPPT controllers. - Highest peak efficiency for off-grid controllers in the industry: 99% (TS150).
- Built for reliability and performance, with an oversized heatsink and
over-spec’d components. Fully-rated for operation at temperatures up to 45C. - Extensive networking and communications features enable system
monitoring, data logging, and adjustability. - On-board RS-232 port included on all models; Ethernet included on all 60A models.
- Extensive electronic protections include short-circuit, over-current and reverse polarity to ensure the controller will not be damaged by wiring mistakes or overloads.
- Certified to IEC 62093 which establishes requirements for the design qualification of balance-of-system (BOS) components used in terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) systems.
- Fanless design for long-term reliability
