8 6 TrakStar Overview MORNINGSTAR S TRAKSTAR MPPT TECHNOLOGY The Best-in-Class MPPT Technology Morningstar s patented TrakStar Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology is an advanced control algorithm that maximizes the energy harvest from the solar array into the battery under all operating conditions. This technology innovation is used in Morningstar s SunSaver MPPT and TriStar MPPT controllers and has resulted in the TriStar MPPT controller becoming the world-leading MPPT solar controller. Morningstar s TrakStar MPPT Technology With Morningstar s TrakStar Technology, fast changing maximum power points are quickly tracked during shading conditions or when using mixed module arrays. When power levels change significantly, Morningstar s MPPT controllers are able to quickly respond to find the true maximum power point and avoid getting stuck on a local maximum. Our TrakStar Technology: Maximizes power levels and provides excellent solar array performance by recognizing multiple power points during shading or mixed solar arrays. Provides excellent performance at sunrise and low solar insolation levels. Delivers the industry s highest peak power efficiency rating: 99% - TriStar MPPT Controller. 97.5% - SunSaver MPPT Controller. Performs flexible sweep intervals and very fast sweeping of the entire solar I-V curve. Sweeps from the battery voltage to the open circuit voltage of the array in less than a second for the TriStar MPPT and SunSaver MPPT controllers and less than 1/10 th of a second for our new TriStar MPPT 600V controller. TrakStar Advantages Morningstar s patented TrakStar MPPT tacking algorithm technology provides more accurate and faster tracking, consistently operating at the PV array s real maximum power point. Morningstar s MPPT controllers deliver high conversion efficiency at all power levels. Significantly better in conversion efficiency at lower output levels. Deliver substantially better production at higher output levels. Our MPPT controllers, with their robust thermal and mechanical design, feature no moving parts and no fans, making them the quietest controllers on the market. Our passive convection cooling heatsinks also make our controllers the industry s most reliable and the lowest in self-consumption. Morningstar s MPPT controllers deliver better production at higher ambient temperatures and will not reduce power or turn off at higher temperatures. Furthermore, our MPPT controllers keep the batteries at a higher state-of-charge (SOC) resulting in better battery health and longer life. A higher SOC equates to better PV system autonomy and more time before a low voltage disconnect. To Learn more about Morningstar s Patented TrakStar MPPT Technology, visit:

19 Ground Fault Protection Device Off-grid and on-grid PV safety device GFPD-150V GFPD-600V GFPD-150V GFPD-600V DIN Rail Clips 25 mm 2 / 4 x 4 AWG and 35 mm 2 / 2 x 2 AWG 1.99 kg / 4.39 lbs 4.4 kg / 8.9 lbs 26.9 x 12.8 x 11.2 cm 10.6 x 5.0 x 4.4 in 35.7 x 22.1 x 10.6 cm 14.0 x 8.7 x 4.2 in 5 years The Ground Fault Protection Device (GFPD) products are off-grid and on-grid PV safety devices. The GFPD is available in two models, GFPD-150V and GFPD-600V, to support 150V and 600V PV system breaker stacks. Morningstar s GFPD increases safety and design flexibility in off-grid and on-grid PV systems. Ground fault protection is used in electrical systems to prevent current from following any unintended paths during a ground fault. It is critical to detect any stray current and to interrupt (break) the circuit until safe operation can be restored. A current imbalance between the conductors of a circuit indicates a ground fault. Morningstar s GFPD will detect this condition and break the circuit on both the positive and negative legs. Disconnecting both poles ensures interruption of the ground fault current. Works like a traditional AC GFI. Maintains the integrity of earth bond for battery and loads. Trips at a lower fault current with greater accuracy. Breaks both conductors in the faulted circuit and completely isolates PV source circuits. Does not require an extra warning label at the battery per U.S. National Electric Code requirements. Provides design flexibility to meet wide range of configurations. Positive and Negative ground. Large and Small arrays. Makes it easier to locate and troubleshoot ground faults. Powered via the PV System s battery. Equipped with both visual and audible alarms. Built to support both single controller and multiple controllers systems. When the earth bond is not broken, Morningstar s GFPD will only shut off affected controllers. All loads will continue to operate safely with the battery remaining bonded to ground. Multiple controllers and GFPDs can be added on an as-needed basis.
