¾ 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
¾ 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
¾ 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
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.
