Morningstar PS-30M ProStar Solar Charge Controller – 12/24VDC – 30 Amp

The ProStar solar charge controller has been the leading mid-range pulse width modulation (PWM) controller since 1995. With over 350,000 units installed in the harshest environments in over 100 countries, ProStar sets the standards in performance and reliability for the rest of the solar industry. The Generation 3 ProStar shares the outstanding build quality and familiar form factor of its predecessors and adds data and lighting control capabilities, a graphical interface, and advanced protection features that meet the needs of today’s most demanding off-grid solar applications. ProStar provides both “the legend and the latest” in a single new product.

Longer battery life through 4-stage charging and temperature compensation. Constant voltage PWM series regulation. Voltage-sense terminals for more accurate battery monitoring.

More information with three battery-level LED indicators. Optional meter includes safety disconnect and displays amps, volts, temperature and self-test.

Extensive electronic protection against reverse polarity, reverse current at night, short circuits, overcurrent and excessive temperature. No mechanical fuses.

Detailed battery programming options allow for advanced battery support for the latest Lithium, Nickel Cadmium, and Lead Acid battery types.
