Morningstar TriStar TS-MPPT-45 Charge Controller
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.
Key Features and Benefits
Maximizes Energy Harvest
TrakStar MPPT Technology features:
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
Selected electronic devices with higher ratings to minimize losses from heating
