Morningstar GenStar MPPT Solar Charge Controller

Morningstar GenStar MPPT Solar Charge Controller
The Morningstar GenStar MPPT Solar Charge Controller is more than just a charge controller, it’s an advanced and reliable fully integrated DC system controller. The GenStar is the first addition to Morningstars’ new Integrated series of products. the Integrated Series represents Morningstar’s most forward-thinking research and development yet, backed by 30 years of leadership in the solar field. Providing the industry with the first fully-integrated solar charging systems, platforms, components, and accessories, Integrated Series is designed for system designers who need complete solar charging solutions with everything necessary already built-in: intelligence, communications, and control.

The Genstar features maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology to optimize power output and maximizes the amount of energy generated by the PV solar panels. This means faster and more efficient charging of the battery bank, not only saving time and money but also ensuring the battery bank is always fully charged and ready to use.

In addition to its efficient charging capabilities, the Morningstar GenStar MPPT Solar Charge Controller also includes protection against overcharge and over-discharge, which is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of the battery bank. This feature helps to prevent damage to the batteries and extend their lifespan, reducing the need for costly replacements and downtime.

Controler Size
The Morningstar GenStar MPPT Solar Charge Controller is available in three different sizes.

60A

80A

100A

All these models include a 30A Load Controller, have the same exterior dimensions, and are compatible with the same ReadyBlock accessories.

Battery Compatibility
The GenStar is compatible with a range of battery types, including sealed, flooded, and gel cell batteries, making it suitable for use in a variety of industrial applications. Its rugged design and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions make it a reliable choice for use in industries such as oil and gas, telecommunications, transportation and safety, agriculture, defense, and security.

The GenStar was built from the ground up to be compatible with Lithium batteries. The addition of the ReadBlock BMS can unlock advanced communication with specific lithium batteries. The ReadyBlock BMS Currently supports two-way closed-loop / Tier 2 communication and operation with Discover and PylonTech LiFePO4 batteries. Check the Morningstar ESP webpage for more information and updates as Morningstar brings in additional closed loop communication battery partners.

No additional wiring or connections are required between the blocks and the controller, the ReadyBlocks are detected and “on-line” almost immediately.
Compatible Morningstar host products with ReadyRail access include the GenStar MPPT DC Solar Charging System. Future products will enable ReadyBlock upgrades with other Morningstar controllers. ReadyBlock measurements, data, and control are seamlessly enabled in the user interface, and firmware updates are easily loaded through the parent component.
