Morningstar TS-MPPT-45 Solar Controller

This a used MPPT controller, not the cheaper PWM controller. Unit is great shape, was installed in my boat for only 9 months. I had to change controllers because I increased the size of my panels.

Price $300... free shipping to USA addresses.

From Morningstar:

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.

Re: Morningstar TS-MPPT-45 Solar Controller

If you haven't bought a new one, these can actually be used with panels that might max out above the 45 amps. They have a white paper on their site that talks about having more solar than the controller is rated for.



Tech support is also very good, and fast.

Interesting. I tripled my panel power so I'm over double with it is rated for. I already got a new controller and the system is all done. Thanks for the input.
