MorningstarTS-MPPT-45

Description

Solar Charge Controller MorningstarTS-MPPT-45 Tristar MPPT 45A, 12/24/48VDC, includes RTS, IP20

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 boasts peak
efficiency of 99%, the industry highest, and also significantly less power loss compared to other
MPPT controllers.

The TriStar MPPT features a smart tracking algorithm that maximizes the harvest of energy from the PV by rapidly finding the solar array peak power point with very rapid 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

• TrakStar MPPT Technology: Better peak power point tracking than other MPPT controllers
