Morningstar > GenStar MPPT 80 Amp 12/24/48 Volt MPPT Charge Controller
Manufacturer Part Number:
GS-MPPT-80M-200V
The revolutionary GenStar represents Morningstar’s best engineering efforts brought together in a single design, with full, advanced communications and control features built-in– plus the ability to add more technology to any system through our innovative ReadyRail expansion technology. ReadyBlock™snap-in modules make it easy to add key features when needed—such as BMS, Shunt and Relay capabilities-- ensuring a future-proofed system which can always be upgraded and is never obsolete. Equally important, GenStar MPPT is not just “compatible” with advanced battery chemistries such as lithium-- GenStar was engineered with lithium in its DNA.
In short, we designed GenStar MPPT to be the industry’s first truly “future-proofed” charging system, one that can grow with a solar powering system as needs change. The new GenStars feature best-in-class efficiency and extremely low self-consumption, thanks to fanless design along with our acclaimed TrakStar™ MPPT technology. Full communications capability as a standard feature and international certifications for global use complete Morningstar’s next generation of charge controllers—and set a new bar for the rest of the industry.

Key Features and Benefits
- ReadyBlock expansion system through exclusive ReadyRail
design achieves true controller technology integration. All
information is instantly available since it’s actually part of the
hardware and software of the charge controller itself, instead
of outside the system as with a typical stand-alone accessory
device. Available ReadyBlock modules include:
- ReadyShunt - battery metering/monitoring, key metrics
including SOC, energy in/out (Amp hours), current
measurement for system sources and loads, and more
- ReadyBMS - full communications and control with
lithium batteries
- ReadyRelay - signaling (dry contact), advanced load
control
- Full network integration without requiring adapters or extra
equipment– Modbus and ModbusIP via 485, Ethernet, WiFi,
MS-CAN connects MS Devices (proprietary), GS network
information bridging.
- WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity for a (future) mobile device
and app for easy connection, dashboard views, downloading data, and firmware updates. It also includes
our LiveView 2.0 web app interface onboard
- Powerful Load Control – built-in 30A load
capability, unique for controllers in this
power class
- Oversized PV Array Input capability – array input power rating @ 150% meets today’s system design needs for PV oversizing
- Extensive electronic protections include cold-weather lithium “fold back” circuitry to guard against cold-weather charging damage. Also, short-circuit, over-current and reverse polarity to ensure the controller will not be damaged by wiring mistakes or overloads
- Fanless design for improved efficiency and exceptional long-term reliability
Warranty: Five year warranty period. Contact Morningstar for complete terms.
