Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller
(TS-MPPT-600V) is a brand new addition to our world-leading TriStar
MPPT solar controller family, which was first introduced in 2009 and
has become the MPPT controller of choice for many large, global,
off-grid PV applications. The TS-MPPT-600V leverages Morningstar’s
innovative TrakStar™ MPPT technology and our 20+ years of power
electronics engineering excellence, to deliver the widest PV input
operating voltage range available in a PV controller. Morningstar’s
TrakStar MPPT technology enables the TriStar MPPT 600V charge
controller to harvest the maximum energy from the solar array or wind
turbine. The high-speed sweeping algorithm minimizes power loss and
provides full visibility of the entire power curve from open circuit to
battery voltage; ensuring the maximum power point is chosen under all
ambient conditions.
The TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller uses advanced power electronics
to efficiently utilize up to 600 Voc (open circuit voltage) PV or wind
to charge 48 Vdc battery systems. Rated for 60 Amps, our TriStar MPPT
600V controller does much more than efficiently charge batteries; it
also provides remote communications, data logging, adjustability and
metering. In fact, the TriStar MPPT 600V controller is the only
600-volt PV controller to offer open communication protocols and true
Ethernet-enabled functionality.
The TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller may be purchased with or
without a pre-wired DC Disconnect Box. The pre-wired DC Disconnect Box
version (model TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB) is acceptable for use with
positively-grounded or negatively-grounded PV systems and helps to save
on installation time and cost.
