Specification of MORNINGSTAR TRISTAR TS-MPPT-60 Standar MPPT CHARGE CONTROLLER
Morningstar’sTriStar MPPT solar controller withTrakStarTechnologyTM 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
- Our 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
ixed PV arrays
- Excellent performance at sunrise and low solar insolation
