OFF-GRID REMOTE MONITORING OVER THE INTERNET

Morningstar’s TriStar Web View remote monitoring is an advanced hardware and software package
that provides live data from an off-grid PV system to a website over the internet. Designed from
proven on-grid PV monitoring technology developed by Fat Spaniel Technologies, this product
uses the TriStar’s communications capability to manage remote PV systems from any web browser… anytime and anywhere.

The TriStar Web View communicates PV system status from the TriStar controller over a broadband or wireless internet connection to a website for 24/7
access. The website displays realtime and historic data as well as advance alerts of any potential
system problems. All of the hardware and software is included to enable a simple “plug and play”
installation. By avoiding expensive site visits, the TriStar Web View will reduce the life cycle costs of
off-grid PV systems.

Why is there so much excitement about PWM?
Charging a battery with a solar system is a unique and difficult challenge. In the "old days", simple on-off regulators were used to limit battery outgassing when a solar panel produced excess energy. However, as solar systems matured it became clear how much these simple devices interfered with the charging process.

The history for on-off regulators has been early battery failures, increasing load disconnects, and growing user dissatisfaction. PWM has recently surfaced as the first significant advance in solar battery charging.

PWM solar chargers use technology similar to other modern high quality battery chargers. When a battery voltage reaches the regulation setpoint, the PWM algorithm slowly reduces the charging current to avoid heating and gassing of the battery, yet the charging continues to return the maximum amount of energy to the battery in the shortest time. The result is a higher charging efficiency, rapid recharging, and a healthy battery at full capacity.

In addition, this new method of solar battery charging promises some very interesting and unique benefits from the PWM pulsing. These include:

1. Ability to recover lost battery capacity and desulfate a battery.
2. Dramatically increase the charge acceptance of the battery.
3. Maintain high average battery capacities (90% to 95%) compared to on-off regulated state-of-charge levels that are typically 55% to 60%.
4. Equalize drifting battery cells.
5. Reduce battery heating and gassing.
6. Automatically adjust for battery aging.
7. Self-regulate for voltage drops and temperature effects in solar systems.
