Real Time Monitoring of Solar PV Parameter Using IoT

Abstract

This paper presents a system design to monitor real-time Solar Photovoltaic System (SPV) parameters using the Internet of Thing (IoT) technology. Some essential parameters of an SPV system such as Voltage, Current, and panel temperature is being sensed using sensors. While the most crucial parameter power of the SPV is computed. These parameters are transferred over the cloud with the help of node MCU Esp8266. An android application fetches the cloud data. For this, a complete application is developed on android studio for mobile application for real-time monitoring the PV panel output Voltage, Current, Power and Temperature. The system is tested in the laboratory to monitor the SPV parameter.
