Morningstar TS-MPPT-60 TriStar 60 Amp Charge Controller 12-48V
Product Description
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.

Overall the unit is very nice, the only issue I have with it, is the knock out tabs are very hard to get out. This could be an issue as the impact from knocking them out could damage something. I actually ended up taking the bottom cover off as I was concerned I was going to break it. It has a very nice web interface, the documentation is excellent and morningstars support was adequate. Unfortunately I could not get a clear answer for a scenario I posed, but this is also a loaded question as they don't have my exact panels to test with, Just wish they gave me some reference example. Anyway, I have 3x100 Watt Instapark panels running now in serias and I compared its performance to what I recorded on my old PWM charger with just a single 100 watt panel, the comparable sample I had showed a 16% increase in output. To me anyone with real usage for a Solar Charger should be using MPPT. My main application is powering my primary sump pump, so its almost mission critical. I am sure they will address the knock out issue ,and taking the bottom off is not that bad, one board post you have to be careful with and the board side holders, not for amateurs for sure, but I would hope amateurs don't plan on trying to install one of these as well. I will be adding 3X100 in parallel to my existing ones when it warms up a bit, and that will max me out as I have a 12 volt setup. If I stay 12 beyond that I can add another unit as it is designed to scale in that manner.
