Morningstar Solar Charge Controllers & Inverters

Is your system less-than-perfect? Ultimately, the health of your batteries will tell you that. But that’s a hard and expensive way to learn! Instead, learn how choosing the right solar charge controller up-front can make or break your off-grid system.

This webinar is conducted each month to introduce individuals to Morningstar and off-grid solar. It is also appropriate for experienced professionals who are looking for a refresher, or to have their pressing questions answered by one of our engineers. Attend this webinar to receive One NABCEP CE credit and  learn about:

  • Battery charging stages
  • Differences between PWM and MPPT controllers
  • Effects of oversizing PV arrays
  • Efficiency variations with output power
  • Electronic and environmental protections
  • Controller/inverter features and accessories
  • New off-grid inverters and high amperage charge controllers

How Solar Module Trends Are Disrupting Off-Grid System Design

Watch this joint webinar between SunWize and Morningstar to learn how module manufacturing trends are now impacting off-grid system design/costs more than ever. While new modules generate more power and support larger loads, they also affect decisions and choices concerning the mounting systems, charge controllers, breakers, and other balance of system components.

Grounding Off-Grid Systems

Grounding is one of the most necessary but least understood subjects in the electrical industry because it involves mechanical, electrical, and even metallurgical aspects which make it a very complex one.  Watch and learn:

  • Why grounding is so important
  • The difference between grounding and bonding
  • Ground fault detection and ground fault protection
  • Preventing corrosion of ground connections.
  • Surge protection
