Morningstar’s ProStar is the world’s leading mid-range solar controller for both Caravan / RV/ Motorhome applications as well as commercial applications. 
This second generation ProStar:​

• Adds new features and protections using highly advanced technology
• Provides longer battery life and improved system performance
• Sets new standards for reliability and self-diagnostics

​Standard Features:

• ​Versions Available: 15 Amp or 30 Amp, 12v / 24v or 48v, Negative or Positive ground
• Can be used on Caravan / Motor-home systems as well as stand alone applications.
• Can be used with 3 different battery types, Gel, AGM (sealed) and Flooded (wet)
• Rated Load terminal on regulator allowing you to run devices direct from regulator.
• Low Voltage Disconnect included on all ProStar regulators. Will disconnect load running off load terminal from battery if battery voltage falls below 11.7v to protect against harmful deep discharges.
• Estimated 15 year life
• PWM series battery charging (not shunt)
• 3 Position battery select: Gel, Sealed, or Flooded
• Very Accurate control measurement
• Jumper to eliminate telecom noise
• Parallel for up to 300 Amps
