Like all PWM solar regulators (PWMs), Morningstar PWM controllers modulate the load they send to the battery according to its state of charge. Morningstar is distinguished by the presentation of two sets of PWM controllers: the Prostar range for medium power installations (professional or private), and the Tristar range whose control capacities reach 60A and 48V. Note that Tristar controllers have three independent functions: load control, load control or bypass regulation. We also offer other types of controllers, such as charge controllers, the Steca PWM charge controller or the MPPT solar controller..

NB: The photo shows the Tristar TS-45 with its digital display, which is sold as an option (on request)
Reference: TS45
This high-end regulator is particularly suitable for large photovoltaic and wind turbine installations for individuals: from 1 kWp to 4 kWp.
It is fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuits, overcurrent, overheating and surges.
It offers advanced features such as connecting to a computer for custom settings, data logging, remote monitoring and remote control.
The solar cables must be screwed firmly into the cable glands of the regulator, in order to avoid any risk of short circuit which may damage the regulator; and respect the cable sizes recommended by the manufacturer.

Morningstar's TriStar TS45 controller can handle up to 45A and 48V
It offers 3 functions:
- the control of the charge of the battery,
- regulation of the discharge of the battery,
- the control of the derivation of the battery to a secondary battery or a resistive load in case of overload of this one
The solar controller continuously measures the battery voltage and manages the power supply of photovoltaic modules
It regulates the charge of the battery bank in order to avoid overloads, ensures the limitation of the current coming from the modules. It limits the discharge by unloading the use, or even the total stop, in order to avoid deep discharges that could damage the batteries. It controls the operation of the generator by display (LEDs and screen, if the regulator is equipped with a display).
The batteries store the energy produced by the photovoltaic panels in order to ensure the power supply to the receivers in all circumstances (day or night, clear or overcast sky).
These batteries, called slow-cycle batteries, are specifically designed for solar or wind applications. They do not have the same characteristics as a car battery for example.
The capacity of a battery is expressed in Ah (Ampere / hour) and its voltage is 12 V (Volts), 6V and sometimes 2V (for the most important installations).
The converter (also called inverter) converts the direct current of batteries (12V, 24V or 48V) into 230 volts AC.
Simply connect the terminals on the converter to the battery terminals.
The electrical devices you wish to supply are then simply connected to the 220/230 V sockets of the converter (note: the sum of the powers of the devices connected to the converter must be lower than the power indicated for the converter).
It is advisable to minimize the distance of the cable Regulator - Battery and Battery - Inverter (less than 6m) as much as possible in order to avoid losses of electricity.
Choosing the right battery for an optimal installation In order to better choose the battery needed for your installation, consult our fact sheets. Solar battery for energy storage and solar battery: capacity and lifetime, which will give you valuable indications as to the type of battery. battery to choose or the capacity of your installation.
