Design and Implementation of an IoT-based Photovoltaic Solar Panel Monitoring System and Cloud Analytics

As the world searches for more sustainable, dependable, and clean energy sources, renewable energy is expanding quickly. Climate change and a reduction in the world’s energy use are currently the two most significant issues. PV forecasting was essential to the more effective operation of the real-time PV system and to prevent any adverse effects. Using forecasting models of solar radiation and, in turn, PV energy production, smart energy management systems of distributed energy resources can increase the intrusion level of solar power generation, improve system reliability, and the impact of uncertainty on PV energy generation. Monitoring and control are necessary for applications across a wide range of industries, and smart sensors and Internet of Things technology enable this. For this reason, anticipating solar power generation was essential for monitoring a real time PV panel and stability as well as for the strategic integration of solar PV. This study explores the usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) for solar PV system monitoring and shows the recommended real time values in the various weather conditions and the measured values are stored in the cloud and the database, this approach is potentially useful option for both smart remote and in-person in real time solar PV system monitoring.
