Morningstar Tristar 60A MPPT Solar Charge Controller 12V/24V/48V - High Efficiency Solar Panel Battery Charger with Ultra-Low Failure Rate - Perfect for Off-Grid Solar Systems, RV, Marine, and Home Energy Storage

This lets me view the realtime status of current, voltage etcWe use this in an area with no utility power access and the meter is necessary to monitor our solar charger/inverter system. It provides a lot of useful info, and seems to work well. The only drawback we have noticed is that the push buttons have a tendency to stick at times, however, our system is located in an area that is not climate controlled and is subject to wide temperature fluctuations and high humidity. Time will tell how well it holds up.Shows all the functions for the TriStar charge controller in one spot. Great addition.I ordered the wrong item. I meant to order the remote meter which does the same thing not connected to the charge controller. I did not notice my mistake until I received this item. I was going to send it back but decided it can not be that much different from the remote version and I have the option of mounting it on the controller at any future date. I use it remotely and it works great other than the buttons stick from time to time. There may be a more operational variance than I am aware of but this one works for me.Works fantastic. I only wish I had bought this ten years ago. I have six 120 watt panels on the roof. Morningstar has Great support. I had a question and they responded very fast. I had been using a Solar Boost 2000 and replace it with another Solar Boost, then it broke. It broke. Finally wised up and bought a Morningstar Tristar. LESS MONEY !I was wanting to build a small solar set up and seen many charge controllers for like 20 and 30 bucks and a few near 80 bucks. They all just screamed cheap quality. Then I find this gem, with a huge heat sink and this thing just screams of quality! Spend a little more for something like this if you want it to last.Outstanding with TS-60 charge controller. Let's me know how system is functioning and what daily power intake looks like. I added the remote temperature sensor to optimize system charge on the controller. System is well thought out and WORKS. Thanks Morningstar!I love the display, for my new charge controller, i like that you can see the status of the Batteries and the charging current, the only thing I think could be improved is the Backlighting on the panel, I think it is too dim other than that I love it!!!!Thank youBennieThe buttons feel cheap and don't always respond but the unit does the job required of it.
