Morningstar TriStar MPPT 45 amp Solar Panel Regulator  (SR-TS-MPPT-45) 

Ideal for use in Marine-Boats, Caravans, Motor homes and RV’s

Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT solar controller with TrakStar Technology™ is an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) battery charger for off-grid  photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 3kW. The 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 extremely  fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve. This product is the first PV controller to include  on-board Ethernet for a fully web-enabled interface and includes up to 200 days of data logging. 45 or 60 amps at up to 150 volts open circuit

Options:

• TriStar Digital Meter (SR-TS-M-2) for use with both TS and TS-MPPT Solar Controllers
  • Replaces the LED indicator light panel on the controller to give enable an LCD readout
  • The meter will display a great deal of information about the TriStar controller and the operation of your system. In addition, the meter enables manual functions and controller diagnostics. These capabilities will increase your confidence that the system is working properly and will help you to improve system reliability, battery life, and system performance. It is worth the time getting to know your meter!

• TriStar Remote Digital Meter (SR-TS-RM-2) TriStar Remote Digital Meter for use with TS & TS-MPPT
  • The meter is compatible with the TriStar, TriStar MPPT, TriStar MPPT 600V, and MeterHub. It displays the same data as the TS-M-2, however, it does not mount to the controller. It ships with 10 meters of cable and a flat face plate for convenient mounting away from the controller. The meter enables manual functions and controller diagnostics. These capabilities will increase your confidence that the system is working properly and will help you to improve system reliability, battery life, and system performance.

• TriStar Meter Hub (SR-Hub-1) Enable multiple solar controllers to share a single LCD meter and display both single and aggregated controller data.
  • Enables multiple controllers to share a single TriStar meter and display both single controller data (TriStar #1, TriStar #2…) as well as aggregated data for the entire system.
  • Enables multiple controllers to share a single Relay Driver and fully utilize all 4 channels of the Relay Driver for different functions (alarms, load disconnects, generator starts) from multiple products.
  • The MeterHub allows up to 15 Morningstar products on a single MeterBus network. The product electrically isolates devices that supply power to the network, preventing damage to the network in the event of grounding problems. Five status LED’s indicate the proper network connection to each port. The MeterHub is suitable for either wall or DIN rail mounting.
