Solar Panel Controllers
Morningstar Controllers
ProStar Charge Controllers
Morningstar has upgraded their very popular ProStar line of
pulse width modulated (PWM)charge controllers to include
several new features. The new design is still dual
voltage at 12 or 24 volts with an optional LCD display,but it
is now available only in 15 or 30 amp capacities.
Morningstar has added a 15 amp 48 volt model to the ProStar
lineup that comes standard with the LCD display.A 15A/48V
positive ground model (PN 34939) is available.The
ProStar’s LCD display still shows battery voltage,array
amperage and load amperage (if applicable),but now it also
shows system information when a self diagnostics test is
performed as well as error codes to let you know what is going
on if it detects a fault. Internal temperature compensation is
still standard.These additional features make the new ProStar
controllers one of the most advanced on the market.Five year
warranty.
SunSaver and
SunGuard Charge Controllers
The SunSaver line of controllers offers most of the same
features of the ProStar line,but without the battery status
LED’s,automatic equalization circuit or the optional LCD
display.The SunSaver is a PWM controller and is available in 12
or 24 volt models from 6 to 20 amps.Morningstar makes a
variation of the SunSaver called the SunLight controller that
is designed specifically for 12 or 24V lighting systems. Five
year warranty.
The SunGuard
is the little brother of the SunSaver and it is only available
in a 12V version with a 4 amp capacity.It is also a PWM
controller with temperature compensation and simple 4 wire
hookup.The SunGuard has a slightly lower output voltage (14.1
V) than the SunSaver and ProStar and may not be the best choice
for flooded batteries that require a higher voltage. Five year
warranty.
