“It is a Morningstar, what do you expect! It is great!”

Three-function Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) controller for larger systems, providing reliable PWM solar battery charging or load control or diversion regulation. PWM technology controllers are ideal for use in solar energy situations where 36 or 72 cell PV modules are available and the site is unshaded with no physical space limitations. TriStar models incorporate advanced thermal design requiring no cooling fans, which ensures long-term reliability with no moving parts to fail-- a unique feature among higher- powered controllers.

• Built for reliability and performance, with an oversized heatsink and over-spec’d components

• More information with LED indicators. Optional meter displays extensive system and controller information in five languages; automatic self-test and reset communications capability with RS-232 port, connects to a PC for custom settings, data logging, remote monitoring and control

• “Speaks” Modbus, and also SNMP (with the optional EMC-1 adaptor) for monitoring and control in network applications

• Extensive electronic protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, overcurrent, and excessive temperature
