Morningstar TriStar MPPT 600V with DC Disconnect Box (TS-MPPT-60 600V-48-DB)

Note:  The image depicts the model with the optional digital display

The TriStar MPPT 600V™ is a breakthrough in charge controller design.  By accepting PV array input up to 600 Voc, it enables installers to design systems with longer, fewer strings, reducing cabling and hardware which make installation and wiring easier and faster.

Morningstar’s advanced digital engineering combined with superior thermal management make the TS-MPPT-600V with TrakStar technology the only charge controller in its class that doesn’t require a cooling fan or fans, making it both extremely reliable and efficient (with 97.9% peak efficiency).  Ideal for DC-coupled energy storage applications.  Sunergy has two versions available:

• TS-MPPT-60-600V-48: Standard
• TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB: with Disconnect Box

The 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.

Accessories include digital display, ground fault protection and communications accessories.
