Maximizes Energy Harvest

  Our TrakStar MPPT Technology features:

   •  Better peak power point tracking than other MPPT controllers

   •  Very fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve

   •  Recognition of multiple power points during shading or mixed PV arrays

   •  Excellent performance at sunrise and low solar insolation levels

   Extremely High Reliability

  •  Robust thermal design and no cooling fans

  •  Parallel circuit design provides less stress and longer life for electronic components              

  •  No mechanical relays

  •  Extensive electronic protections including PV short circuit protection

  •  Epoxy encapsulated inductors and conformally coated printed circuit boards 

 Very High Efficiency

• Peak efficiency of 99%

• Proprietary tracking algorithm minimizes power losses

• Low self-consumption

• Continuous operation at full power to 45°C without need to de-rate

• Selected electronic devices with higher ratings to minimize losses from heating

Extensive Networking and Communications Capabilities 

Enables system monitoring, data logging and adjustability. Uses open standard MODBUS™ protocol and Morningstar’s MS View software.

•  Meterbus: communications between compatible Morningstar products

•  Serial RS-232: connection to a personal computer

•  EIA-485: communications between multiple devices on a bus

•  Ethernet: fully web-enabled interface to a local network or internet; view from a web browser or send email/text messages.   

   Metering and Data Logging

•  Optional TriStar meter and remote meter provides detailed operating data, alarms and faults

•  Three LED’s display system status

•  Up to 200 days of data logging via meters or communications ports
