TRISTAR MPPT™
SOLAR CONTROLLER WITH MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING
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. This product is the first PV controller to include on-board Ethernet for a fully web-enabled interface and includes up to 200 days of data logging.
30, 45 or 60 amps at up to 150 volts open circuit. Shown with optional meter.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
¾ Maximizes Energy Harvest

*Input power can exceed Nominal Maximum Operating Power, but controller will limit and provide its rated continuous maximum output current into batteries. This will not harm the controller (reminder: do not exceed Voc).
**Exceeding Maximum PV Open Circuit Voltage may damage the controller.
