Morningstar TriStar™ PWM Solar Charge Controllers
The TriStar™ is a three-function PWM controller for larger systems, providing reliable PWM solar battery charging or load control or diversion regulation. The controller operates in one of these modes at a time and two or more controllers may be used to provide multiple functions. The TriStar uses advanced technology and automated production to provide exciting new features at a competitive cost to regulate battery charging in home systems and professional applications. The 60 amp version is also available with a factory installed meter. “It is a Morningstar, what do you expect! It is great.” Specifications and Certifications by Model Model TS-45 TS-60 TS-60M Charge Rating 45 amps 60 amps 60 amps Max.
