Description

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, maximise energy production, and consistently achieve high performance standards.

This high voltage Morningstar TriStar^TM 60A MPPT 600V charge controller is suitable for large off-grid solar power systems with high input voltages. It uses TrakStar Technology^TM, which provides the very best automatic power point tracking by sweeping the I-V curve faster than any other MPPT controller on the market, and maximising 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 upto 525 Voc. This action 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 whilst 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, with a maximum input voltage of 600V that reduces voltage drop and wire costs
• Extremely high reliability, with no cooling fans or moving parts and a robust thermal design for high operating temperatures
• Incredibly high peak efficiency of 97.9% – an outstanding feat within the solar industry
• First 600V PV controller to offer extensive communication capabilities with internet access for custom settings, data logging and remote monitoring
• 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 30m extension cable (sold separately) to view detailed charging parameters and remotely monitor your system.
