Description
MPPT TrakStar technology
- Better tracking of maximum power point than other MPPT controllers
- Very fast scan of the entire I-V curve
- Recognition of several maximum power points during shading or with different photovoltaic generators
- Excellent performance at sunrise and with low levels of sunshine
Extremely high reliability
- Robust thermal fanless design
- Parallel circuit design offers less stress and longer life of electronic components
- No mechanical relay
- Numerous electronic protections including protection against short circuits of the photovoltaic system
- Encapsulated inductors and epoxy coated printed circuit boards
Extremely high efficiency
- Optimum efficiency of 99%
- The exclusive tracking algorithm minimizes power loss
- Low self-consumption
- Continuous operation at full power at 45ºC without having to reduce the nominal value
- Selected electronic components with higher ratings to minimize heat loss
Extensive network and communication capabilities
- Enables monitoring, data logging and system adaptability
- Uses open standard MODBUS protocol and Morningstar MS View software
- Meterbus: communication between compatible Morningstar products
- RS-232 serial: connection to a personal computer
- EIA-485: communications on a bus between several devices
- Ethernet interface for connection to a local network or the Internet; viewing from a web browser or sending emails / text messages
Data measurement and logging
- Optional TriStar meter and remote meter providing detailed data of operation, alarms and operating problems
- Three LEDs show system status
- Up to two hundred days of data logging by measuring devices or communication ports
