TriStar 60 Amp 12/24/48 Volt MPPT Charge Controller

Manufacturer Part Number: TS-MPPT-60

Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT (TS-MPPT-60) 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.

Features and Benefits

Maximizes Energy Harvest

  • Better peak power point tracking than other MPPT controllers
  • Very fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve
  • Recognition of multiple power points during shading or mixed PV arrays
  • Excellent performance at sunrise and low solar insolation levels

Extremely High Reliability

  • 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

Very High Efficiency

  • Peak efficiency of 99%
  • Proprietary tracking algorithm minimizes power losses
  • Low self-consumption
  • Continuous operation at full power to 45°C without need to de-rate

    5 of 5 THE BEST MPPT January 18, 2015
    Reviewer: gary dalecki from wales, MI United States  
    Well I really did not want to spend that much money on a charge controller because I'm new to all this solar stuff. But the more I read I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did! What a huge difference from my pwm controller! On a cloudy rainy day my mppt controller is putting like 6.9 amps in the battery bank , but my 2 pwm controllers together are only putting in .2 amps in my battery bank . The Morningstar controller was really easy to set up too!  Excellent investment!
