Solar Power Monitoring System Using Iot

Here an automated iot based solar power monitoring system that allows for automated solar power monitoring from anywhere over the internet.

Solar power monitoring system using iot.

The success of your monitoring system depends in part on the reliability of your communication network how well and dependably the gateway can transmit information to the cloud. Iot solar power monitoring system solar power plants need to be monitored for optimum power output. Using the iot your system will be less susceptible to outages and productivity issues resulting from downtime and potentially costly security breaches. A solar power monitoring system using the iot works like this.

Here we use iot gecko to transmit solar power parameters over the internet to iot gecko server. This iot based project is designed to supervise solar photovoltaic power generation to enhance the performance monitoring and maintenance of the solar plant. Server updation helps real time tracking and monitoring of solar power generated in solar farms by using advanced processor pic16f1947 which is a 16 bit microcontroller. Atmega 328 bridges the gap between solar panel and iot internet of things.

Home automation system using iot raspberry pi. This helps retrieve efficient power output from power plants while monitoring for faulty solar panels connections dust accumulated on panels lowering output and other such issues affecting solar performance. Here we have a tendency to use iot lizard to transmit solar energy parameters over the web to the iot lizard server. Figure1 block diagram of solar power monitoring system using iot 3 1 atmega 328 the main purpose of using atmega 328 is its high functionality with simplicity and familiarity.

With advancement of technologies the cost of renewable energy equipments is going down globally encouraging large scale solar photovoltaic installations. It now displays these parameters to the user using an effective gui and also alerts user when the output falls below specific limits. Our system constantly monitors the solar panel and transmits the power output to iot system over the internet. Power generated by solar panel is monitored in real time and updated in server.

If the application lasts less than 4 days on its battery it will likely go down when there are extended periods of rain and heavy clouds. 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. This makes remotely monitoring of solar plants very easy and ensure best power output. Solar can make sense for an iot application when the battery life of the system is between 4 and 365 days and there is no grid based power source available.

Our system perpetually monitors the solar array and transmits the ability output to the iot system over the web.
