I have series of remote 100% solar installs (think 1.7kW solar and 400Ah batteries) and need remote monitoring of power consumption. Our MPPT charge controller will accurately tell me voltage, but the output current is +/- 20%!</p>

Anyone up for a tear down and investigation? I wonder if Micah of ScanLime would be up to doing this...</p>

(say, RS232 or similar serial method) Would make a great MPPT tracking device for solar panels or tracking historical performance data of a device under test and over a long period of time without having to watch the LCD.<p>Just my 2 cents worth.</p></p>

Nicely done!</p>
