Iot Based Solar Panel Monitoring System

This iot based project is designed to supervise solar photovoltaic power generation to enhance the performance monitoring and maintenance of the solar plant.

Iot based solar panel monitoring system. Solar used in iot applications needs to withstand long term exposure to uv temperature extremes water humidity and possibly vibration. This helps efficient power output from the power plants while monitoring for faulty solar panels connections and dust accumulated on panels lowering output and issues affecting solar panel performance. Controlling the voltage output of solar panel at distant location using internet of things iot. With advancement of technologies the cost of renewable energy equipments is going down globally encouraging large scale solar photovoltaic installations.

In this project an iot based solar panel remote monitoring system has been proposed to collect data on important parameters of solar panels. Here we use iot gecko to transmit solar power parameters over the internet to iot gecko server. The continuous record of performance data and failure data enables by iot so that it can be used for analytics for predicting and forecasting the future power generation possibilities income production etc. Our system constantly monitors the solar panel and transmits the power output to iot system over the internet.

We use arduino based system to monitor a 10watt solar panel parameters. Here an automated iot based solar power monitoring system that allows for automated solar power monitoring from anywhere over the internet. Power generated by solar panel is monitored in real time and updated in server. This makes remotely monitoring of solar plants very easy and ensure best power output.

It now displays these parameters to the user using an effective gui and also alerts user when the output falls below specific limits. Home automation system using iot raspberry pi.
