Product SummaryMorningstar's TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller leverages Morningstar's innovative TrakStar™ MPPT technology and our 20+ years of power electronics engineering excellence, to enable the widest input operating voltage range available from a solar array, wind turbine or hydro input
Product DescriptionMorningstar's TriStar MPPT 60 600V is the high-voltage controller designed for challenging installations. Because it enables systems with longer and fewer individual strings, wiring, cable and breaker costs are reduced, and installations go faster and easier.
Morningstar is able to deliver this performance with no cooling fans required— a remarkable technical achievement in a high-voltage controller. The secret is more agile control software combined with over-spec'd components, optimized through advanced thermal and electronic engineering. Fanless design improves service life, increases reliability, and raises efficiency.
The TriStar 600V controller (TS-MPPT-600V) accepts PV array input up to 600 Voc with 97.9% peak efficiency. In addition to solar charge controlling, the TriStar 600V with DC transfer switch is uniquely suited for retrofitting existing grid-tied solar installations with energy storage for back-up power in a DC-coupled configuration connected to batteries.
Available models:
- TS-MPPT-60-600V-48
(Standard)
- TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB

(Pre-wired with Ground Fault Protection Device)
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.
Tristar MPPT 60 600V Key Features & Benefits
The TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller delivers high reliability and excellent performance and features:
-
Accommodates PV systems > 150 Voc with long wire runs from the array to the controller
-
Uses Morningstar's patented 4-stage charging algorithm to optimize battery health
-
Features extensive system networking, monitoring and communications
-
Optimized for harsh environments and equipped with electronic protections
-
Enables battery back-up for grid-tied systems using more efficient DC-coupling system topology (as opposed to AC-coupling typical from other brands)
Tristar MPPT 60 600V 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
- Battery-based Wind systems
- Water pumping applications
