Description
Morningstar TriStar™ 60 Amp 12/24/48V MPPT Charge Controller (TS-MPPT-60)
Overview
The Morningstar TriStar™ MPPT 60A is a high-performance solar charge controller engineered for professional off-grid and hybrid PV systems. Featuring TrakStar™ Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology, it achieves up to 99% peak efficiency—extracting maximum energy from solar arrays even under shading, temperature, and mixed-module conditions. Built with industrial-grade components and no moving parts, it’s one of the most reliable and efficient controllers in its class.
Ideal for mission-critical installations, the TriStar MPPT 60A supports 12, 24, or 48V battery banks with programmable charging algorithms, Ethernet connectivity, and up to 200 days of data logging. It’s a proven choice for telecom, industrial, and remote solar applications worldwide.
Key Features
- TrakStar™ MPPT Technology ensures faster and more accurate tracking of the array’s maximum power point.
- Peak efficiency of 99% with low self-consumption (2.7 W typical).
- Full web-enabled interface with on-board Ethernet for remote monitoring and control.
- Comprehensive electronic protections — PV short-circuit, reverse polarity, surge, and over-temperature.
- 200-day data logging and integrated metering with optional TriStar Digital Meter-2.
- Wide operating range: 8–72 VDC battery voltage, 150 VDC max PV open-circuit voltage.
- Conformally coated electronics and epoxy-encapsulated inductors for marine and industrial environments.
Applications
- Off-grid residential and commercial solar power systems
- Telecommunications and remote sensing stations
- Industrial control, oil & gas, and SCADA sites
- Hybrid power systems with diesel or wind generation
