Morningstar debuts an innovation 'triple play' at InterSolar Europe

Munich (ots) - The employee-owned leader in solar charging
technology expands into power conversion and advanced system
monitoring, also introduces a new affordable line for global
customers.

On its 25th anniversary in renewable energy leadership,
Morningstar Corporation announced three "breakthrough" product
initiatives designed to set new industry standards in three areas:
system power, size/scale, and intelligence.

On the power front, Morningstar is showcasing its radical new
MultiWave inverter/charger as the centerpiece of the brand's
presentation at Intersolar Europe this week in Munich. The first
design to successfully merge the power and stability benefits of
low-frequency inverters with the agility and efficiency of a
high-frequency design in a single platform, the 4000W MultiWave is
something of a "triple play" on its own. Explains Brad Berwald,
Product Director, "we created MultiWave by combining the latest in
precision control software, advanced thermal management, and
'over-spec' components. The result is an inverter so flexible, it
addresses three key user groups: UPS/backup, Grid-tied with solar
priority, and Off-grid solar with generator. Moreover, we made
MultiWave fully future-proof with a Plus Module DIN-rail expansion
mounting system on-board. The user can easily add control,
communications, and advanced battery functions as their needs
demand."

The new 4 kW inverter/charger is part of a global line that will
include 120, 120/240 and 230V AC versions. To fully support its new
technology, Morningstar is also previewing a comprehensive training
program at Intersolar.

At the other end of the renewable spectrum, Morningstar's new
Essentials Series takes the technology and performance of the brand's
acclaimed Professional Series and scales it to smaller, more
price-sensitive systems and applications, in products offering more
basic features. "Essentials serves two missions" notes Brad Berwald.
"In developed areas, it's an ideal solution for solarizing small
vacation cabins, RVs for caravanning, and marine use with 'solar at
sea'. And in developing areas, Essentials charge controllers will
bring Morningstar quality within reach for rural electrification
projects as well as agricultural, lighting and security applications
around the world. We've even added features to address specific
consumer needs in these markets, such as dual mobile phone charging
ports." Essential Series is available in selected global markets.

Addressing the growing need for smarter systems, Morningstar's
just-released EnVision cloud-based web monitoring service augments
renewable energy system intelligence by allowing users to collect
essential data from multiple sites. This highly-scalable platform
will make it possible to simultaneously and securely monitor an
entire network of up to thousands of renewable systems for
performance, faults and alarms.

"Our progress in these new areas is a direct result of 25 years of
Morningstar's employee-owned ethic and culture" observes CEO and
founder Lee Gordon. "When everyone in the company has an ownership
stake, our personal reputations literally ship with every product.
It's the powerful incentive behind our achieving probably the lowest
failure rates in the industry as well as packing more innovation,
engineering and technology-along with higher quality-- across our
entire product line. No matter what you've bought from Morningstar or
the type of interaction you have with us, you're dealing with an
owner. And that's why we're perfectly fine sharing our 'secret sauce'
with both customers and competitors-it's our culture that makes us
different and, as a result, better."
