Innovative design from years of dedicated research and superior build quality enable these top-of-the-range solar charge controllers to extend battery capacity and life, maximize energy production, and consistently achieve high performance standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high voltage Morningstar TriStar™ 60A MPPT 600V charge controller with DC transfer switch is suitable for large off-grid solar power systems with high input voltages or retro-fitting existing grid-tie systems with a battery backup component. It uses TrakStar Technology™, which provides the very best automatic power point tracking by sweeping the I-V curve faster than any other MPPT controller on the market, maximizing the energy harvest of the off-grid system. With 97.9% peak efficiency, low self-consumption, and subsequently less power losses through the off-grid system, this MPPT controller guarantees an excellent return on investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its high voltage capabilities, this unique controller can be used with new grid-tie PV installations or added to existing grid-tie PV systems to allow storage of excess energy in a backup battery bank. This can be achieved without changing the existing PV array configuration and can even enable incremental adding of solar panels to an array with no string sizing issues and Voc voltages up to 525 Voc. This action allows fewer combined circuits and lower current for long wire runs from the array to the controller. The DC transfer switch and enhanced wiring disconnect box allows 60A continuous battery current from your solar array to be stored in a battery bank or to be manually switched to the grid-tie inverter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther key features include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh voltage capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximum input voltage of 600V reduces voltage drop and wire costs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with new or existing grid-tie power systems to allow alternative battery storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReliability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely high reliability with no cooling fans or moving parts and a robust thermal design for high operating temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Incredibly high peak efficiency of 97.9% - an outstanding feat within the solar industry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommunication capabilities:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extensive communication capabilities with internet access for custom settings, data logging, and remote monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller is pre-set to protect 48V batteries while charging them, providing automatic cut-off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. It is also programmable to set for 24V, 36V, and 60V battery banks. It comes with a full range of electronic protection functions: overload, short circuit, high voltage, reverse polarity, high temperature, lightning and transient surges, reverse current at night. This controller can work with sealed, gel, and flooded batteries. The maximum allowed input solar power for this controller is 3200W (48V). The controller can also be connected to the TriStar remote meter with 30m extension cable (sold separately) to view detailed charging parameters and remotely monitor your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick on the Details and Specifications tab for more information about this product.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eController specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal system voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum output current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolar input voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 600V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 pairs (input, battery, output), plus ports for computer connectivity and an optional remote meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-colour LEDs to indicate charging and battery status\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature sensor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic compensation (-5mV\/C\/cell) operating between -30°C and +80°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery operating voltage range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 - 72V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt; 3.5W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -40°C to +45°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% non-condensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20 (indoor and vented)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 544 x 221 x 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.75 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e For ease of installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
