Morningstar TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB Charge Controller with Disconnect 60A 48VDC 3200W. Shown with optional Morningstar TS-M-2-600V Digital Meter. $50 off with coupon code DB50.

Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller leverages Morningstar’s innovative TrakStar&trade MPPT technology and our 20+ years of power electronics engineering excellence, to enable the widest input operating voltage range available from a solar array. This controller’s standard and DB versions are for off-grid applications.

Rated for 60 Amps, the TriStar MPPT 600V controller does much more than efficiently charge batteries; it also provides remote communications, data logging, adjustability and metering. In fact, the TriStar MPPT 600V controller is the only 600-volt PV controller to offer open communication protocols and true Ethernet-enabled functionality.

The TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller pre-wired DC Disconnect Box version (model TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB) is acceptable for use with positively-grounded or negatively-grounded PV systems and helps to save on installation time and cost.

Key Features & Benefits

Morningstar’s products are built from the inside out to deliver more than twice the industry average operating life. The TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller delivers high reliability and excellent performance and features:

  • The industry's best-in-class power efficiency
  • Morningstar's advanced 4-stage charging algorithm to optimize battery health
  • Robust thermal, mechanical and electrical design
  • Environmentally optimized and equipped with extensive electronic protections
  • Industry standard open communication protocols and interfaces for system networking, monitoring and communications
  • Superior lightning protection from nearby lightning-induced voltage/current spikes

Applications

The TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller's high voltage capability and flexible design enable several application scenarios including:

  • Adding modules incrementally with no string sizing issues
  • Off-grid PV systems greater than 150 Voc with long wire runs from the array to the controller
  • New installation grid-tie PV systems with battery back-up
  • Retrofitting string PV inverter systems to later add battery back-up without changing the PV array configuration

Other brands survive harsh conditions. Morningstar thrives in them.

With more than 25 years of experience and well over four million products in over 100 countries – most of them still in operation – Morningstar has truly earned its reputation for building the “world’s leading solar controllers.” At Morningstar, the word “reliability” means a lot more than a marketing adjective. Morningstar’s employee-owned culture works hard to maintain the lowest hardware failure rate in the industry, because our own reputations literally ship with every product.

That’s why system designers of the most mission-critical solar energy installations around the world insist on Morningstar components, and why you should too on your next project. From mineral mines in South America to telecom repeater stations in Canada, from gas wells in the Middle East to mountain peaks in Nepal, Morningstar technology and legendary quality make the difference between success and failure – and make renewable energy a practical, cost-effective, and long-term solution.

TrakStar MPPT

TrakStar Logo

All Morningstar MPPT (Multiple Power Point Tracking) Controllers have TrakStar™ technology to maximize energy harvest by operating the system at the maximum power level possible.

  • Rapidly sweeps the entire solar I-V curve
  • Recognizes multiple power points during shading or mixed solar arrays
  • Provides superior performance at sunrise and low solar insulation levels

TrakStar helps reduce system cost in three ways:

  • Enables using less expensive high voltage (on-grid) modules for off-grid battery charging
  • Reduces cable sizes by using a higher voltage solar array to charge a lower voltage battery
  • Decreases the number of solar modules needed based on the extra energy harvest (boost)

FAQ's

  • What battery chemistries will this controller safely support?
    Manufacturer's response: "The TS-MPPT has been successfully used with Lithium type batteries and can be custom configured to work with a variety of battery types. Specific charge configuration requirements, such as Absorption voltage and duration, Float voltage, etc,) should be discussed and verified with the battery manufacturer." The "Morningstar TriStar MPPT Installation and Operation Manual" also includes a chart of compatible battery chemistries: Gel, Sealed, AGM/Flooded, Flooded, and L-16.
  • Do the TriStar MPPT controllers have a diversion function?
    No, the TriStar MPPT controllers do not have a diversion function because they have no load circuit. You can, however, pair it with a TriStar PWM controller (e.g. TS-30, -45, AND -60) for a diversion load.
  • Can I use the unused knockout next to the existing circuit breaker on the charge controller's front panel to add another circuit breaker?
    Yes, there is room for a single breaker on that dinrail and because that is located on the low voltage side of the DB, it is allowable.
  • Can I use the Morningstar TriStar MPPT Charge Controller in a wind or hydro application?
    Wind and Hydro are only supported with certain hydro manufacturers and/or with an SD Wind Energy 3kW wind turbine. Outside of those approved manufacturers, wind and hydro systems are not supported. Please contact us to determine if your hydro manufacturer is a supported brand.
