MPPT Charge Controllers - Morningstar TriStar

Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT solar controller with TrakStar Technology™ is an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) battery charger for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 3kW. The controller provides the industry’s highest peak efficiency of 99% and significantly less power loss compared to other MPPT controllers.
The TriStar MPPT features a smart tracking algorithm that maximizes the energy harvest from the PV by rapidly finding the solar array peak power point with extremely fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve. It is capable of charging battery systems up to 48 volts. It can charge 12 volt systems from higher voltage solar arrays such as our Solar Innova 185 watt panels.

Robust thermal design and no cooling fans
Parallel circuit design provides less stress and longer life for electronic components
No mechanical relays
Extensive electronic protections including PV short circuit protection
Epoxy encapsulated inductors and conformally coated printed circuit boards

An optional monitoring panel or PC interface can be fitted. This monitor shows state of charge, charge current, total amp-hours. It logs system data, provides diagnostics and records equalization cycles.

This remote meter is provided with a mounting plate and 100 ft. of cable. It is identical to the TS-M-2 version except that the TS-RM-2 version can be mounted at some distance from the controller. The meter will display a great deal of information about the TriStar MPPT controller and the operation of your system. In addition, the meter enables manual functions and controller diagnostics. These capabilities will increase your confidence that the system is working properly and will help you to improve system reliability, battery life, and system performance. This meter is to be used with either the TriStar MPPT 45, or TriStar MPPT 60 controllers.
