Morningstar > TriStar 60 Amp 600 Volt DC MPPT Charge Controller / Disconnect Box / DC Transfer Switch

Morningstar TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB-TR includes a pre-wired DC disconnect box and DC Transfer Switch (600V; 30A double pole; double throw DC Transfer Switch)

Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT 600V Charge Controller (TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB-TR) can be used with higher voltage photovoltaic (PV) arrays, and select wind turbines or hydropower systems.* This product enables the following application scenarios:

• Adding modules incrementally with no string sizing issues
• Off-grid PV systems with input voltages greater than 150V
• Wind/hydro battery charging systems*
• Fewer combined circuits and lower current for long wire runs from the array to the controller
• New installation grid-tie PV systems with battery back-up
• Retrofitting grid-tie PV systems to include battery back-up without changing the PV array configuration
• Supplementary charging for AC Coupled PV systems
