Quality and Reliability - helping our customers extend overall system life while reducing overall total cost of system ownership. Our controllers and inverters have set new standards in performance, innovative features, quality and reliability. Our field-proven products are delivering more than twice the industry s average operating life. Expected 15+ year operating life. Our products are manufactured in a fully automated world-class ISO 9001 facility. Our Quality Control includes 100% functional testing on every product using the latest computerized test equipment and processes. Innovation - delivering products our customers can count on to complement their off-grid product portfolio and maximize their system efficiency and reliability. In 1995, we introduced our ProStar TM controller, the world s first PV controller with a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charging algorithm. PWM vastly improved battery charging and resulted in increased battery capacity and useful life. Since this Morningstar innovation, the global PV community has accepted the superiority of PWM battery charging. In 2008, we developed and introduced our TrakStar TM Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) advanced control algorithm technology. TrakStar maximizes the energy harvested from the solar array into the battery. This innovation has made SunSaver MPPT, ProStar MPPT, and TriStar MPPT the world s leading MPPT solar controllers. Long Term Consistency and Customer Focus - since our founding in April 1993, our strategy, ownership and management have been unchanged. We are focused on long-term stability and building high-quality, reliable products that: Outperform the competition Are built to last Can be trusted to complement our customers off-grid PV installations Value - we are renowned for delivering the industry s best overall customer value.

4 MORNINGSTAR S TRAKSTAR MPPT TECHNOLOGY The Best-in-Class MPPT Technology Morningstar s innovative TrakStar Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Technology is an advanced control algorithm that maximizes the energy harvest from the solar array into the battery under all operating conditions. This innovative tracking is used in Morningstar s SunSaver MPPT, ProStar MPPT and TriStar MPPT. It has helped to establish these products as the world s leading MPPT controllers. Morningstar s TrakStar MPPT Technology With Morningstar s TrakStar Technology, fast changing maximum power points are quickly tracked during shading conditions or when using mixed module arrays. When power levels change significantly, Morningstar s MPPT controllers are able to quickly respond to find the true maximum power point and avoid getting stuck on a local maximum. Our TrakStar Technology: Optimizes solar array operation by differentiating global (total) maximum power operating points from local power points during shading or mixing of solar modules. Provides excellent performance at sunrise and low insolation levels Delivers the industry s highest peak power efficiency rating: 99% - TriStar MPPT Controller 98% - ProStar MPPT Controller 97.5% - Performs very rapid sweeping of the solar array I-V curve over the whole controller s operating range at flexible and adaptive time intervals. Sweeps from the battery voltage to the open circuit voltage of the array in less than a second 1TrakStar Overview TrakStar Advantages Morningstar s TrakStar MPPT tracking algorithm provides more accurate and faster performance, which consistently operates the PV array at a real maximum power point. Morningstar s MPPT controllers deliver high conversion efficiency at all power levels. Significantly better in conversion efficiency at lower output levels than similar competing products Substantially higher energy production at higher output levels than similar products Our MPPT controllers feature robust thermal and mechanical design (no fans or frequently moving parts). This, together with our passive convection cooling heatsinks, makes our controllers the industry s quietest and most reliable while still exhibiting lowest selfconsumption. Morningstar s MPPT controllers deliver better production at higher ambient temperatures and will not reduce power or turn off at higher temperatures. Furthermore, our MPPT controllers keep the batteries at the highest state-of-charge (SOC), resulting in better battery health and longer life. A higher SOC equates to better PV system autonomy and more time before a low voltage disconnect.

Other ground fault detection/interruption products break the bond to the grounded conductor. When this occurs, not only is the earth bond compromised, but the battery and DC loads can also be left ungrounded and floating. For a negatively grounded system this means that the negative side of the battery and loads can float to negative Voc in relation to ground and the positive side can float to (negative Voc + Vbat). Morningstar s GFPD better isolates the array from the battery and loads, while maintaining the bond to ground. Disconnects both the positive and negative conductor and completely isolates PV source circuits Trips at 300mA compared to 1A for alternative solutions Provides design flexibility to accommodate large and small array configurations Uses high quality breaker solutions rather than fuses which are problematic to replace at remote sites Works like a traditional AC GFI Maintains the integrity of earth bond for battery and loads Does not require an extra warning label at the battery per U.S. National Electric Code requirements Makes it easier to locate and troubleshoot ground faults Powered via the PV System s battery Equipped with both visual and audible alarms Built to support both single controller and multiple controllers systems When the earth bond is not broken, Morningstar s GFPD will only shut off affected controllers All loads will continue to operate safely with the battery remaining bonded to ground Multiple controllers and GFPDs can be added on an as-needed basis Ground Fault Protection Device GFPD-150V GFPD-600V Number of Poles 2 2 Maximum Solar Voltage 150V 600V Maximum Solar Current 60A 50A Trip Method Mounting Input Voltage Self-Consumption Relay DIN-rail or Panel-Mount 8-72 Vdc <0.5W Ground Fault Threshold Current 300 ma +/- 10% Output Trip Signal Nominal System Voltage 12V 12, 24, 36 or 48 Vdc Accessories Wire Box (PS-MPPT-WB) An optional two-piece enclosure accessory for ProStar MPPT ProStar MPPT Controller Material: High strength polycarbonate Lexan Enclosure space: accommodates 35mm2 wire Meets NEC standards for conduits and wire bending 2 9
