IOT Based Solar Panel Monitoring System Using Arduino & ESP8266

Description

DESCRIPTION

This system consists of multiple sensors, including current sensors and temperature sensors, strategically placed on the solar panels to measure crucial performance metrics. The Arduino, acting as the main controller, gathers sensor data and processes it to calculate various parameters like current generated, voltage output, and temperature that all are shown in lcd display and internet webserver also.

The design and implementation of the proposed work can be segmented into two main sections. The architecture of the solar photovoltaic monitoring system comprises three levels: data acquisition, data processing, and data display and storage. In the data acquisition phase, information is gathered from various sensors, including voltage, current, temperature, humidity, and Light. This data is then transmitted to the subsequent stage through either wired or wireless communication. After a brief storage period in auxiliary devices such as data loggers, the information undergoes analysis before being conveyed to the final stage for presentation. In the last level, the workstation receives the data, and the system takes the necessary actions to configure itself accordingly. These data are accessible via the internet, allowing users to retrieve information from any location at any time.
