Abstract:
Solar photovoltaics are a rapidly growing renewable energy technology that will play a significant role in global electricity production. This project aims to develop a system for measuring and monitoring the parameters of solar panels using IoT technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects sensors and systems to exchange data via the Internet. This project measures five parameters: temperature, light intensity, voltage, current, and rain. A temperature sensor measures the temperature, an irradiation sensor measures the light intensity, a voltage divider measures the voltage, and a current sensor measures the current generated by the solar panel. Rain detection is carried out with a specific sensor. An Arduino collects this data, which is sent to a computer via Wi-Fi thanks to the ESP8266 and then visualized in the form of diagrams with Python software.
