MORNINGSTAR’S TRAKSTAR™ MPPT TECHNOLOGY & MAXIMUM INPUT POWER

Published by Morningstar Corporation
Published Date: NOV 16, 2020
With so many module manufacturers in the market, an extensively broad range of module choices are available to meet the needs of many different global markets. Morningstar’s MPPT controllers have a very wide voltage input range with which they can make use of these many modules for charging batteries in the off-grid market. However, finding the best fit and knowing how to correctly size them is sometimes challenging. This document discusses solar module sizing, and power ratings, and answers some of the more frequently asked questions in order to help make sense of the many options available on the market.

ADVANTAGES OF MORNINGSTAR’S DC COUPLING VS AC COUPLING

Providing a simple, cost-effective battery backup PV solution for grid-tied systems has eluded solar PV manufacturers and installers for years.

HEAT DISSIPATION OF THE TRISTAR & TRISTAR MPPT CONTROLLERS INSIDE ENCLOSURES

Published by Morningstar Corporation
Published Date: NOV 16, 2020
This paper explains how to: calculate the heat dissipation for TriStar controllers; determine the air temperature rise inside an enclosure determine the resulting heat sink temperature of the controller to ensure it is below its operating limits; reduce operating temperatures. With this information, system designers can make good decisions regarding thermal management and system design when installing Morningstar controllers inside enclosures.

SIZING BENEFITS OF MPPT CONTROLLERS WITH NOMINAL VOLTAGE ARRAYS

Published by Morningstar Corporation
Published Date: NOV 16, 2020
Morningstar’s MPPT charge controllers use the TrakStar advanced control MPPT algorithm to harvest maximum power from a Solar Array’s peak power point. It is generally accepted that even the most basic MPPT controller will provide an additional 10‐15% of charging capability, when compared to a standard PWM regulator. Besides this extra charge capability, there are several other important differences and advantages between PWM & MPPT technologies—these basic differences & advantages are outlined in this whitepaper.

PARALLEL CHARGING USING MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS WITH SEPARATE PV ARRAYS

Published by Morningstar Corporation
Published Date: NOV 16, 2020
Large off-grid and battery backup PV systems, often require greater charging than a single controller can provide. To meet the charging requirements of these large systems, several TriStar™ or TriStar MPPT™ controllers can be connected in parallel to a battery bank. Each controller is connected to its own separate PV array. This document provides answers to frequently asked questions, and tips concerning the operation and setup of these large multiple TriStar and TriStar MPPT controller systems.

RETROFITTING BACKUP POWER TO A STRING INVERTER SYSTEM

Published by Morningstar Corporation
Published Date: NOV 16, 2020
The tracking capabilities of many MPPT controllers require a voltage input window that must be significantly higher than battery voltage. Morningstar’s MPPT controllers, on the other hand, are engineered to impose no such limitation, and in many cases, we encourage these configurations for the optimal performance and cost benefits.
