Morningstar TriStar 60A MPPT 600V Charge Controller
As an official distribution partner of Morningstar products across the globe, we are proud to offer solar charge controllers from this world-leading supplier. Innovative design from years of dedicated research and superior build quality enable these top-of-the-range solar charge controllers to extend battery capacity and life, maximize energy production, and consistently achieve high performance standards.
This high voltage Morningstar TriStar™ 60A MPPT 600V charge controller is suitable for large off-grid solar power systems with high input voltages. It uses TrakStar Technology™, which provides the best automatic power point tracking by sweeping the I-V curve faster than any other MPPT controller on the market, maximizing the energy harvest of the off-grid system. With 97.9% peak efficiency, low self-consumption, and subsequently less power losses through the off-grid system, this MPPT controller guarantees an excellent return on investment.
Due to its high voltage capabilities, this unique controller allows incremental adding of solar panels to an array with no string sizing issues and Voc voltages up to 525 Voc. This allows fewer combined circuits and lower current for long wire runs from the array to the controller. The controller is pre-set to protect 48V batteries while charging them, providing automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. It is also programmable to set for 24V, 36V, and 60V battery banks. It comes with a full range of electronic protection functions: overload, short circuit, high voltage, reverse polarity, high temperature, lightning and transient surges, reverse current at night.
Other key features include:
-
High voltage capacity: Maximum input voltage of 600V reduces voltage drop and wire costs
-
Reliability: Extremely high reliability with no cooling fans or moving parts and a robust thermal design for high operating temperatures
-
Efficiency: Incredibly high peak efficiency of 97.9% - an outstanding feat within the solar industry
-
Communication capabilities: Extensive communication capabilities with internet access for custom settings, data logging, and remote monitoring
-
Ease of use: Easy to install and use, with fully automatic operation, fault recovery, and up to 200 days of data logging
This controller can work with sealed, gel, and flooded batteries. The maximum allowed input solar power for this controller is 3200W (48V). The controller can also be connected to the TriStar remote meter with a 30m extension cable (sold separately) to view detailed charging parameters and remotely monitor your system.
