Morningstar TriStar TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB Solar Controller with Disconnect Box

Description

The Morningstar TriStar TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB Solar Controller with Disconnect Box with TrakStar Technology™ is an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) battery charger for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 3kW. The Morningstar TriStar TS-MPPT-60-600v-48-DB 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. Maximizes Energy Harvest
