Morningstar
TriStar MPPT 600V Charge Controller, Transfer Switch, GFPD

This version of Morningstar’s TriStar 600V MPPT Solar Charge Controller comes pre-wired with a Ground-Fault Protection Device (GFPD), for the ultimate safety. This feature is used in electrical systems to prevent current from following any unintended paths. It is critical to detect any stray current, and to interrupt (break) the circuit until safe operation can be restored. Any current imbalance between the (+) and (-) conductors of a circuit indicates a ground-fault. Morningstar’s GFPD-600V will detect this condition, and break the circuit on both the (+) and (-) legs, ensuring interruption. As with the TR model, this charge controller is available with a DC Transfer Switch. This feature is ideal for systems that were just set up as grid-tied. Now, during a power outage, you are able to switch from the grid-tie inverter that is in your system, to a battery back-up solution. Easy- you just turn the switch!

FEATURES:

  • Maximizes energy harvest with recognition of multiple power points during shading or mixed PV arrays
  • Can accept up to 2 strings per controller – up 3.2kW of solar. NOTE: The system CAN accept oversized PV arrays (ie. up to 7kW) without harm to the controller
  • Wide array input operating voltage range (100-525 V)
  • Maximum 60A continuous battery current
  • Supports nominal 48 Vdc batteries (custom programmable to 24V, 36V, 60V)
  • Parallel operation of multiple controllers from a single source input
  • Accepts power from oversized PV arrays without damaging the controller
  • Passively cooled for high reliability
  • Remote Temperature Sensor included
  • Enables system monitoring, data logging, and adjustability, through ethernet connection, and utilizes standard MODBUS protocol and Morningstar’s MS View software
  • Facilitates simple and cost-effective design (including savings on wiring and labor costs)
  • Advanced 4-stage charging algorithm optimizes battery health
  • Enables use of existing high voltage PV or small wind turbines for battery charging
  • Ease of installation – battery breakers are included for easy connection to battery terminals or E-Panel battery busbar
  • Compatible with all Inverter/Chargers, E-Panels, and battery technologies

Midnite Solar
Schneider Conext SW E-Panel

The MNE175SW E-Panel is designed for use with a single Schneider Electric SW inverter/charger. The SW inverter is mounted directly to the right of the E-Panel. It comes installed with a 175A breaker for the SW4048 Inverter.

FEATURES:

  • 175A Inverter/Battery breaker
  • Knockouts for up to (6) din rail mount AC or DC breakers
  • (4) panel mount breakers or DC-GFP80 breakers
  • Massive tin plated copper bus bars directly connect to the SW’s battery terminals
  • Bus bars for AC inputs, AC output, neutral, ground, PV + in, PV- in, Bat +, Bat-
  • 500 amp shunt
  • Location to mount 2 charge controllers to the top with corresponding knockouts

KiloVault
PLC 2100 Advanced AGM Battery

KiloVault 2100 PLC AGM Battery

The 2100 PLC is a pure lead carbon sealed AGM deep cycle solar battery, for cycling applications.  KiloVault 2100 PLC is a cost-effective, maintenance-free battery that offers superior performance in Partial State Of Charge (PSoC) applications, combining pure lead and advanced carbon technology for extended battery life and rapid charging.  The batteries are designed for residential or light commercial off-grid, backup, or self-consumption applications.

FEATURES:

  • Maximized Cycle Life – Affordable high performance with 3000 Cycles @ 50% depth of discharge
  • Partial State of Charge Applications – Pure lead + carbon = greater cycle life in both PSoC and non-PSoC off-grid operations
  • Super-Fast Charging – High charge rates allow the 2100 PLC to go from 50% up to 90% state of charge in under an hour

This DC Coupled system above includes the basics that you’ll need to retrofit your solar system.
