MORNINGSTAR’S TRAKSTAR™ MPPT TECHNOLOGY

The Best-in-Class MPPT Technology

Morningstar’s patented TrakStar Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology is an advanced control algorithm that maximiz

the energy harvest from the solar array into the battery under all operating conditions. This technology innovation is used

Morningstar’s SunSaver MPPT and TriStar MPPT controllers and has resulted in the TriStar MPPT controller becoming the world-leadi

MPPT solar controller.

Morningstar’s TrakStar MPPT Technology

With Morningstar’s TrakStar Technology, fast changing maximum power points are quickly tracked during shading conditions or wh

using mixed module arrays. When power levels change significantly, Morningstar’s MPPT controllers are able to quickly respond to fi

the true maximum power point and avoid getting stuck on a ‘local’ maximum. Our TrakStar Technology:

• Maximizes power levels and provides excellent solar array performance by recognizing multiple power points during shading

mixed solar arrays.

• Provides excellent performance at sunrise and low solar insolation levels.

• Delivers the industry’s highest peak power efficiency rating:

• 99% - TriStar MPPT Controller.

• 97.5% - SunSaver MPPT Controller.

• Performs flexible sweep intervals and very fast sweeping of the entire solar I-V curve.

• Sweeps from the battery voltage to the open circuit voltage of the array in less than a second for the TriStar MPPT and SunSav

MPPT controllers and less than 1/10th of a second for our new TriStar MPPT 600V controller.

TrakStar Advantages

Morningstar’s patented TrakStar MPPT tacking algorithm technology provides more accurate and faster tracking, consistently operati

at the PV array’s real maximum power point. Morningstar’s MPPT controllers deliver high conversion efficiency at all power levels.

• Significantly better in conversion efficiency at lower output levels.

• Deliver substantially better production at higher output levels.

Our MPPT controllers, with their robust thermal and mechanical design, feature no moving parts and no fans, making them the quiete

controllers on the market. Our passive convection cooling heatsinks also make our controllers the industry’s most reliable and the lowe

in self-consumption.

Morningstar’s MPPT controllers deliver better production at higher ambient temperatures and will not reduce power or turn off at high

temperatures. Furthermore, our MPPT controllers keep the batteries at a higher state-of-charge (SOC) resulting in better battery hea

and longer life. A higher SOC equates to better PV system autonomy and more time before a low voltage disconnect.

methodology enables the TS-MPPT-600V to sweep from the battery voltage to the Voc

of the array faster than any MPPT controller on the market today--faster than 1/10th of a

second!

will not damage the controller. The printed circuit board is conformally coated for protection

against humidity and nesting insects.

• Easy To Use – LED indicators display battery level and system status. All control functions are

automatic and require no user adjustments.

• Auto Lighting Control – The Night Light version will automatically turn lights on at dusk

and turn off the lights at dawn.

The SureSine is a pure sine wave inverter for off-grid solar applications requiring

AC power. Applications include rural electrification, telecom, remote homes,

RVs, caravans and boats.

• Improved load operation – Pure sine wave provides quality AC equivalent to grid

power. Toroidal transformer design generates good wave form throughout the range of

input voltages. Handles 200% surge up to 600W.

• High Reliability – No internal cooling fan or other moving parts. Uses epoxy

encapsulation, conformal coating, stainless steel hardware and an anodized aluminum

enclosure to protect against harsh tropical and marine environments.

• More Power Available – High efficiency and low self consumption maximizes power to

the loads. Automatic stand-by reduces consumption during no load conditions.

The Ground Fault Protection Device (GFPD) products are off-grid and on-grid PV safety

devices. The GFPD is available in two models, GFPD-150V and GFPD-600V, to support

150V and 600V PV system breaker stacks.

Morningstar’s GFPD increases safety and design flexibility in off-grid and on-grid

PV systems. Ground fault protection is used in electrical systems to prevent current

from following any unintended paths during a ground fault. It is critical to detect any

stray current and to interrupt (break) the circuit until safe operation can be restored.

A current imbalance between the conductors of a circuit indicates a ground fault.

Morningstar’s GFPD will detect this condition and break the circuit on both the positive

and negative legs. Disconnecting both poles ensures interruption of the ground fault

current.

• Works like a traditional AC GFI.

• Maintains the integrity of earth bond for battery and loads.

• Trips at a lower fault current with greater accuracy.

• Breaks both conductors in the faulted circuit and completely isolates PV source circuits.

• Does not require an extra warning label at the battery per U.S. National Electric Code requirements.

• Provides design flexibility to meet wide range of configurations.

• Positive and Negative ground.

• Large and Small arrays.

• Makes it easier to locate and troubleshoot ground faults.

• Powered via the PV System’s battery.

• Equipped with both visual and audible alarms.

• Built to support both single controller and multiple controllers systems.

• When the earth bond is not broken, Morningstar’s GFPD will only shut off affected controllers.

• All loads will continue to operate safely with the battery remaining bonded to ground.

• Multiple controllers and GFPDs can be added on an as-needed basis.
