Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TriStar PWM and MPPT models?+

The TriStar PWM (TS-45, TS-60) is a cost-effective solution for systems where the solar voltage matches the battery voltage. The TriStar MPPT models use TrakStar technology to step down higher voltage solar arrays to charge lower voltage batteries, increasing energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM.

Does the Morningstar TriStar require a cooling fan?+

No, the TriStar series features an advanced fanless design with oversized heatsinks. This eliminates a common point of failure and increases the long-term reliability of the controller in harsh environments.

How can I monitor the performance of my TriStar controller?+

All TriStar models include an on-board RS-232 port for PC connection. The 60A MPPT models also include an Ethernet port for remote data logging and monitoring via a web browser or internal network.

Is the TriStar controller compatible with 48V battery systems?+

Yes, TriStar MPPT and PWM controllers are designed for high-voltage off-grid systems and are compatible with 12V, 24V, and 48V battery banks.
