Product Description
TRISTAR MPPT
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.
Morningstar offers a TriStar MPPT One-Hour Training Program that covers the major features and benefits of the product, system considerations and sizing tools, networking and communications (including Ethernet), and metering and data logging.

Installed the Morningstar MPPT 45 in our RV last month.

Hello Everyone,
I must say I researched this device for some time, well I am very impressed with it's results. I purchased our 4 136 Watt Solar Panels , (4) 6 Volt Battery's a Samlex 2000 Watt inverter then installed them in our RV for our trips to middle earth, my wife and kids love the comforts of home so I had to build La Chateau RV De Williams to get them out of the house.
This system delivers very clean power to our RV allowing my son to Surf the web play Mind Craft with his friends, My wife can Watch as the world turns on the 50" and I can watch the Avengers in full 7.1 surround sound systems with a 300 Watt subwoofer , Blue ray and Eat my Hot Freshly popped Popcorn from the Microwave, I can work from my mobile office here too.
This is an amazing unit and I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for off the grid power. or just supplementing power from your home.
My next project will be our home and I will buy the Morningstar MPPT 60 and the remote data display, Also with this unit I can monitor the data threw the TCPIP Port and see what is going on with my home from anywhere in the world that I have access to the web. a very neat feature that Morningstar has incorporated into there devices.
Thank you for Reading.
