Good to know green means spend the green lol.
6xAA alkaline battery power "Battery Life >900 measurements at 1,000V/1MEG" {I think this must be using the insulation megger} but no other lifetime spec. could I find, i.e. how many hours.

For the price it should be able to do stand-alone datalogging. Let it record a sunrise/sunset and use BT or WiFi to download, instead of the IR cable.
The instructions are dumbed down too much, i.e. 3-phase inverter efficiency measurement didn't make much sense.  "On-location I-V curve results" but too simplified to really know what a person is doing. How many panels before death, the pic shows it on the HV DC bus and no way this baby is doing loading. You input the cell make/model from some database and it draws an I-V curve including the irradiance meter+cell temp. Or is it for one panel's worth?
I'm not impressed.
