Abstract
Nowadays Photovoltaic (PV) systems have seen an increase in demand since they produce electricity without harming the environment by directly converting solar energy into electricity. As a result, the sun's irradiance should be correctly exploited. Solar energy is a completely natural and environment friendly source of energy. As a result, the efficiency of solar power plants should be closely monitored to ensure maximum power output. Hence, we propose a machine-driven, IoT-based solar energy monitoring system that allows solar energy monitoring from anywhere via the internet. Tomonitor a 25Watt solar array parameters, we proposed an Arduino board-based system. Our system continuously supervises the solar array and sends the power production to the IOT system through the internet. We are using IOT Adafruit for sending solar energy parameters to the IOT Adafruit server over the web. The main parameters, such as current, voltage, power and energy are presently displayed to the user. This tends to the user can monitor their solar panels from any distant locations.
