WWW.WISPA.ORG 23 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 Morningstar Ships 2 of its Most Revolutionary Products With 30 years of experience in industryleading solar electronics for off-grid applications, Morningstar Corporation is shipping two of its most innovative products: The GenStar MPPT re-invents and re-imagines the solar DC system controller, while the SureSine line of off-grid industrial inverters meets the need of installers and system designers for a “Morningstar of inverters.” The GenStar DC Solar DC System Controller and SureSine pure sine-wave inverters are available through Morningstar’s distribution network. As an integrated Solar DC System Controller, GenStar MPPT represents the flagship of Morningstar’s Integrated Series. The line consists of three models, ranging from 60-100 Amps at 200 Volt input. Morningstar’s product management director and soon-to-be CEO Bill Mellema explained the development effort behind it. “We started with an all new design incorporating ‘lithium DNA’ and most requested key communication, control and power conversion features. That included the ability to oversize PV arrays to meet today’s need for larger systems, and provides integrated load control — 30 Amp capability, unique for controllers in this class. GenStar has all essential communications, connectivity and network integration features on-board, without the need for wiring on adapters or outside equipment — it’s all built-in.” Brad Berwald, Morningstar’s Director of Product Marketing, explained the GenStar features relevant to telecommunications operators and wireless services providers. “We’ve just added SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) capability to GenStar, which — as telecom professionals know — is the internet standard protocol used to manage and monitor devices on an IP network and allows for a simple and convenient way to view and monitor the status of critical system components on a private Local Area Network (LAN) or across a WAN (Wide Area Network) if so desired,” Berwald said. “Now that GenStar ‘speaks SNMP’ it can provide more data access, more easily work with lithium batteries, and be readily supported in a networked community of devices.” Berwald said that “innovation is on top of GenStar’s built-in the capability of being easily upgraded and expanded with new features and technologies, through our revolutionary ReadyRail architecture and ReadyBlock expansion line. That’s done through our unique ReadyRail architecture and ReadyBlocks, which simply snap-in to deliver any additional features and capabilities needed. They include a ReadyShunt for battery metering and monitoring, a ReadyRelay for signaling and advanced load control, and a ReadyBMS for communications and closed-loop operation with lithium batteries. With this innovative architecture, system designers need never worry about obsolescence — GenStar can grow as their system needs evolve.” Morningstar’s SureSine off-grid inverter line is designed and built for most mission-critical installations in industrial applications, including telecom, oil and gas, security, rural electrical electrification and more. The line consists of six primary models from 150-2,500W with 120 or 230V output and 12, 24 or 48V DC input options. m The GenStar MPPT Solar DC System Controller and the SureSine off-grid inverters are on display in the Morningstar booth #416 or for more information, visit www.morningstarcorp.com.
