MORNINGSTAR TRISTAR TS-MPPT-60 Standar MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER

Morningstar’sTriStar MPPT solar charge 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 pow- er loss compared to other MPPT controllers.

TheTriStar 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.

Maximizes Energy Harvest
