Morningstar TriStar-MPPT Charge Controller

The Morningstar TrakStar Technology™ is an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) battery charger for off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 3kW. The TriStar-MPPT (TS-MPPT) controller 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 an extremely fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve. The TS-MPPT is the first PV controller to include onboard Ethernet for a fully web-enabled interface and includes up to 200 days of data logging. Versions include TS-MPPT-30 (part# 017006), TS-MPPT-45 (part# 003275), TS-MPPT-60 (part# 003276), and TS-MPPT-60M (part# 019499).
