In addition, our Solar-Log & GE Meter is capable of scaling from today's PV monitoring needs to future inverter power management solutions," says Anton Kaeslin, President of Solar Data Systems, Inc.

The Solar-Log 350 can be purchased through a wide variety of distributors, installers, and solar leasing companies across the nation.
