Morningstar Genstar MPPT (12/24/36/48V) 8000W/200V (max. input), 100 amp (charging) 30 amp (load) w/ meter (includes RTS)

The revolutionary GenStar MPPT represents Morningstar’s best engineering efforts brought together in a single design, with full, advanced communications and control features built-in–plus the ability to add more technology to any system through our innovative ReadyRail expansion technology.

The GenStar MPPT is available in 60, 80, and 100A charge rating ratings with a maximum Voc limit of 200V, and support for 12, 24, 36, and 48V batteries.

Since 1993 the name Morningstar has been synonymous with industry-leading charge controllers, used in mission-critical applications around the world. That tradition continues with Morningstar’s GenStar MPPT. First in our new Integrated Series and a new flagship for Morningstar, GenStar MPPT combines the muscle of our iconic TriStar MPPT controller line with our most forward-thinking research and development yet in intelligent power conversion and control.

The revolutionary GenStar represents Morningstar’s best engineering efforts brought together in a single design, with full, advanced communications and control features built-in– plus the ability to add more technology to any system through our innovative ReadyRail expansion technology. ReadyBlock™snap-in modules make it easy to add key features when needed—such as BMS, Shunt and Relay capabilities-- ensuring a future-proofed system which can always be upgraded and is never obsolete. Equally important, GenStar MPPT is not just “compatible” with advanced battery chemistries such as lithium-- GenStar was engineered with lithium in its DNA.

In short, we designed GenStar MPPT to be the industry’s first truly “future-proofed” charging system, one that can grow with a solar powering system as needs change. The new GenStars feature best-in-class efficiency and extremely low self-consumption, thanks to fanless design along with our acclaimed TrakStar™ MPPT technology. Full communications capability as a standard feature and international certifications for global use complete Morningstar’s next generation of charge controllers—and set a new bar for the rest of the industry.

Features

ReadyBlock expansion system through exclusive ReadyRail design achieves true controller technology integration. All information is instantly available since it’s actually part of the hardware and software of the charge controller itself, instead of outside the system as with a typical stand-alone accessory device. Available ReadyBlock modules include:

• ReadyShunt – Battery meter & DC Current Sensor for monitoring SOC, energy in/out (Amp hours), current measurement for system sources and loads, and more
• ReadyBMS – BMS Interface for full communications and control with lithium batteries
• ReadyRelay – Relay Controller for signaling (dry contact)& advanced load control

Full network integration without requiring adapters – Modbus™ via RS-232, USB and EIA485; ModbusIP™, SNMP and HTML (LiveView 2.0) via Ethernet, MS-CAN connects MS
Devices (proprietary), EIA-485 serial to Ethernet bridging

LiveView 2.0 Web App and Morningstar Mobile App provide live dashboard views, system control and firmware updates. LiveView 2.0 also includes settings adjustments and historic data

Powerful Load Control – built-in 30A load capability, unique for controllers in this power class

Oversized PV Array Input capability – array input power rating @ 150% meets today’s system design needs for PV oversizing

Extensive electronic protections include cold-weather lithium “fold back” circuitry to guard against cold-weather charging damage. Also, short-circuit, over-current and reverse polarity to ensure the controller will not be damaged by wiring mistakes or overloads

Fanless design for improved efficiency and exceptional long-term reliability
