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 efciency of 99% and signicantly less pow-
er loss compared to other MPPT controllers.
The TriStar MPPT features a smart tracking algorithm that maximizes the energy harvest from the PV by rapidly nding the solar array peak
power point with extremely fast sweeping of the entire I-V curve. This product is the rst PV controller to include on-board Ethernet for a fully
web-enabled interface and includes up to 200 days of data logging.
