How big of a MPPT do I need?
You take the total watts of the solar array divided by the voltage of the battery bank. That will give you the output current of the charge controller. For example, a 1000W solar array รท 24V battery bank = 41.6A. The rating of the charge controller should be at least 40A.

How many solar panels can a 40 amp charge controller handle?
How many watts can Renogy Rover 40 amp charge controller handle? The Rover MPPT charge controller can work with standard off-grid 12/24V solar panels with high voltage or multiple panels with voltage up to 100V. And the maximum combined input solar power is 520W for a 12V battery system or 1040W for a 24V system.
What is your review of Morningstar’s TriStar TS-mppt-60 solar charge controller?
Morningstar’s TriStar TS-MPPT-60 Solar Charge Controller is a venerable unit built to a very high standard. In this review, I will detail my experiences with the unit. I outgrew my 30A PWM controller after adding more solar panels to my array. It necessitated upgrading to a higher capacity charge controller to handle the increased current.
What kind of charge does the TS-mppt-60 charge controller use?
The TS-MPPT-60 charge controller uses TrakStar technology for efficient and reliable solar battery charging. The Morningstar TriStar MPPT 60 charge controller provides 60 amps on an up to 150 volt open circuit input.
Is the TriStar mppt-60 better than the Outback MPPT?
The TriStar MPPT-60 has Ethernet as standard. The Outback needs an optional add-on to enable this. Low self-consumption was also a factor. The TriStar MPPT wins out over the Outback. So the TriStar it was. As very few local Australian shops sell the TriStar, I looked to the United States to purchase.
What does MPPT stand for?
This TriStar MPPT solar charge controller with TrakStar technology is an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar battery charger for off-grid solar systems up to 3kW.
