7 x 430W black rigid frame Sharp solar panels:

These high-quality 430W full black solar panels from Sharp, a global leader with over 60 years of experience and over 50 million panels installed, features advanced TOPCon solar cells for superior efficiency, better performance at high temperatures, and enhanced long-term stability. The half-cut cell design reduces internal losses, minimizes hotspot risks, and improves shaded condition performance, while the robust IP68-rated construction ensures durability against harsh environments like salt mist, ammonia, heavy snow, and sand. Backed by up to a 30-year power output guarantee and fitted with waterproof MC4 connectors for easy integration, this panel delivers exceptional reliability and longevity.

Morningstar TriStar™ 60A 48V MPPT solar charge controller:

Morningstar’s top-tier solar charge controllers are renowned for their innovative design and superior build quality, extending battery life, maximizing energy production, and delivering consistent high performance. Among them, the Morningstar TriStar™ 60A MPPT 600V charge controller stands out as an ideal choice for large off-grid solar systems or retrofitting existing grid-tie setups with battery backup. With TrakStar™ Technology, it provides unmatched automatic power point tracking, ensuring maximum energy harvest and a peak efficiency of 97.9% while minimizing power losses for exceptional returns on investment.

Designed for high voltage applications, this controller supports input voltages up to 600V, reducing voltage drop and wire costs. It can integrate with existing grid-tie systems to store excess energy in backup batteries without altering the PV array configuration, accommodating incremental solar panel additions seamlessly. Its DC transfer switch and enhanced wiring disconnect box enable a 60A continuous battery current to be directed to a battery bank or grid-tie inverter. With features like programmable battery voltage settings, comprehensive electronic protections, and compatibility with various battery types, this controller is a robust, efficient solution for demanding solar power systems.

Morningstar TriStar remote LCD digital meter:

Morningstar's innovative solar charge controllers and accessories are designed with superior build quality, leveraging years of dedicated research to maximize energy production, extend battery life, and deliver consistent high performance. This remote meter comes with 30m of cable for effortless connection to the RJ-11 port on a TriStar™ controller. Key features include a highly reliable design with a 5-year warranty, an easy-to-navigate backlit LCD display, and multilingual support (English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish). The meter can display individual controller data or aggregate system data for up to 15 linked TriStar™ controllers (via the Morningstar MeterHub, sold separately), providing comprehensive insights into charging parameters like battery voltages, charge priority, and state of charge.

Additional items: 

This kit also includes a pair of 10m single-core 6.0mm² solar cable20A fuse and a Kraus & Naimer manual solar DC isolator switch.
