Morningstar Morningstar TriStar 60A MPPT 600V charge controller (with DC transfer switch) for off-gr

Product Description

As an official distribution partner of Morningstar products across the globe, we are proud to offer solar charge controllers from this world-leading supplier. Innovative design from years of dedicated research and superior build quality enable these top-of-the-range solar charge controllers to extend battery capacity and life, maximise energy production, and consistently achieve high performance standards.

This highvoltage MorningstarTriStarTM 60A MPPT 600Vcharge controller with DC transfer switchis suitable for large off-grid solar power systems with high input voltages, or retro-fitting existing grid-tie systems with a battery backup component. It uses TrakStar TechnologyTM, which provides the very best automaticpower pointtracking by sweeping the I-V curve faster than any other MPPT controller on the market, and maximising the energy harvest of the off-grid system.With 97.9% peak efficiency, low self-consumptionand subsequently less power losses through theoff-grid system, this MPPT controller guarantees an excellent return on investment.

Due to its high voltage capabilities, this unique controller can be usedwith new grid-tiePVinstallations or added to existing grid-tie PV systems, to allowstorage of excess energy in a back-up battery bank. This canbe achieved without changing the existing PV array configuration, and can even enable incremental adding of solar panels to an array with no string sizing issues and Voc voltages upto 525 Voc. This action allows fewer combined circuits and lower current for long wire runs from the array to the controller.

The DC transfer switch and enhanced wiring disconnect boxallows 60A continuous battery current from your solar array tobe stored ina battery bank or to be manually switched to the grid-tie inverter.

Other key features include:


High voltage capacity, with a maximum input voltage of 600Vthat reducesvoltage drop and wire costs
Used in conjunction with new or existing grid-tie power systems to allow alternative battery storage
Extremely high reliability, with no cooling fans or moving partsand a robust thermal designfor high operating temperatures
Incredibly high peak efficiency of 97.9% - an outstanding feat within the solar industry
First600V PV controller to offerextensive communication capabilitieswith internet accessfor custom settings, data logging and remote monitoring




The controller ispre-set to protect 48V batteries whilst charging them,providing automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. It is also programmable to set for 24V, 36V and 60V battery banks.

It comes with a full range of electronic protection functions: overload, short circuit, high voltage, reverse polarity, high temperature, lightning and transient surges, reverse current at night.

This controller can work with sealed, geland flooded batteries.

The maximum allowed input solar power for this controller is: 3200W (48V).

The controller can also be connected to theTriStar remote meter with 30m extension cable (sold separately) to view detailed charging parameters and remotely monitor your system.
