The Morningstar Product Advantage

• Superior Lightning Protection – Use of large Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) provide faster response to

transients and do not degrade over time – Protecting against any induced currents/voltages on system wires (caused by

nearby lightning strikes, as the electromagnetic energy of the lightning bolt can generate currents in nearby wires)

The Morningstar Advantage - Products Robust Thermal Design + Mechanical Design + Electronic Circuitry …

• Our Products are built from the inside out and deliver more than twice the industry average in operating life – Our Products feature extensive Electronic Protections – Our Products feature no moving parts & no fans (which tend to bring in dust &

debris) • These technologies tend to shorten the lifespan of power electronics’

– Our Electronic Circuitry is engineered to optimize efficiency, performance, quality & reliability

– Our Interfaces are electrically isolated – Our Products deliver the lowest stand-by power consumption levels

• Helping to maximize the system’s autonomy when its running on battery power

The Morningstar Advantage - Products Robust Thermal Design + Mechanical Design + Electronic Circuitry …

• Our Mechanical Designs use cast & extruded aluminum HeatSink ‘passive’ convection cooling – Dissipating heat quickly & reducing the operating temperature of our

controllers & inverters

The Morningstar Advantage Industry Standard Communications

• Morningstar uses Industry Standard / Open Communication Protocols & Interfaces – Protocols: MODBUS, MODBUS TCP/IP, SNMP & SMTP

• System Networking & System Monitoring – Interfaces: Ethernet, EIA-485 & RS-232

• Flexible Communications • Networked Controllers (working independently and /or together)

– Interacting with other Site Hardware – On-Site Monitoring & Control (Including Retrieval of Historical Data Logging

Files) – Remote Monitoring & Control (via a RS-232 or EIA-485 Ethernet Connection)

The Morningstar Product Advantage Communications / Remote Data Logging

Why Morningstar uses Industry Standard / Open Communication Protocols & Interfaces:

– It reduces our customers’ OPEX costs – It reduces our customers’ reliance on proprietary network hardware

• Our customers can more easily use off-the-shelf third party equipment • Our customers don’t have to contend with software compatibility issues

(e.g. routers, adapters, network gear, data loggers, SCADA, etc..) – It enables faster & easier system integration. E.g. The controller network data

feeds more ‘naturally’ into existing networks – It enables 3rd party developers to use proven & readily available code to speed

development time and decrease production costs

Morningstar The Competition

TriStar MPPT Charge Controllers Conversion Efficiency - When WATTs Matter

… So why does every percentage point of efficiency matter?

… What does 1% of ‘more efficiency’ translate into?

On a cloudy day or in a small system, with an output power of 1200W, this could mean 99 W-h more/day into a battery bank using Morningstar’s TS-MPPT Controller.
