These are our favorite non MPPT charge controllers. We've used the Trace C Series for years with very few failures. And then the TriStar came along. A customer ordered the TriStar for Antartica after several of the Trace C Series died. The TriStar worked very well in the extreme climate of Antartica. It's a robust unit. No disrespect to the Trace C Series, but we are recommending the TriStar. For a little bit more money, you are getting a lot more controller.The TriStar is Morningstar's newest and most advanced product and is capable of handling solar arrays up to 3kW
