we are proud to offer solar charge controllers from this world-leading supplier. 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, maximise energy production, and consistently achieve high performance standards.
This high quality Morningstar TriStarTM 60A PWM charge controller is a technically advanced solar system controller, suitable for 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks. With reliable solar battery charging, load control or diversion regulation, this controller is compatible with solar, wind or hydroelectric renewable installations.
The controller is designed to protect batteries whilst charging them, providing automatic cut off to prevent over-charging and deep discharge. It comes with a full range of protection functions: overload, short circuit, high voltage, reverse polarity, high temperature, lightning and transient surges, reverse current at night.
Other key features include:
- Extremely high reliability, with a large heat sink for high operating temperatures and a long 5 year warranty
- Parallel connectivity, to allow two or more controllers for large solar arrays or in a hybrid power system
- Four stage series PWM pulse charging increases your battery life
- Communication capabilities with a personal computer for custom settings, data logging and remote monitoring
- Easy to install and use, with factory pre-sets, fully automatic operation and fault recovery
This controller can work with sealed, gel and flooded batteries.
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.
