Bluetooth Dongle

Below is some sample historic data downloaded on to an iPhone using the Bluetooth Dongle.  This was data from a small flexible panel and we were using a 75/15 MPPT controller.  If the image is truncated in your browser you can click on it to open the full image.  This is useful information if you are evaluation the performance of your solar panels.
