With the Morningstar Tristar it states that it has certified for “IEC 62109-1 (UL/CSA/IEC requires ambient temperature limited to 45°C. On the Smartsolar and bluesolar it doesn't seem like there is any limitation regards to temperature. Is this the case??

"Its a linear derating from full power at 40 degr C to zero at 70 degr C".
Hi @WJF
Victron mppts also carry a similar (identical?) certification..

I'm not familiar with what they mean, but if you have a specific issue perhaps describe it in more detail and I'll see if I can find out for you.
@JohnC What i am wanting to know is if there is any Temperature limitation to meet the IEC 62109-1 cert with the Victron controllers? With Morningstar, the limitation is 45 degrees C
thanks @johnc
