Description
The industry-leading TriStar MPPT™ with TrakStar Technology is an advanced maximum power point tracking controller for larger off-grid photovoltaic (PV) energy systems up to 3kWp. It can charge Lead-Acid, Lithium, NiCd, and other battery chemistries. Custom settings programming is required for Lithium, NiCd, and other battery chemistries.
An iconic design, TriStar MPPT’s have been proven in solar installations around the globe and remain the first choice for designers of mission-critical systems where failure is not an option.
- Maximizes energy harvest – superior peak power tracking over conventional MPPT controllers.
- Highest peak efficiency for off-grid controllers in the industry: 99% (TS150).
- Built for reliability and performance, with an oversized heatsink and over-spec’d components. Fully-rated for operation at temperatures up to 45C.
- Extensive networking and communications features enable system monitoring, data logging, and adjustability.
- On-board RS-232 port included on all models; Ethernet included on all 60A models.
- Extensive electronic protections include short-circuit, over-current and reverse polarity to ensure the controller will not be damaged by wiring mistakes or overloads.
- Certified to IEC 62093 which establishes requirements for the design qualification of balance-of-system (BOS) components used in terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) systems.
- Fanless design for long-term reliability.
