PROJECT
TOPIC: SOLAR PANEL MONITORING
SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
As technology is advancing, cost of renewable energy equipments are
decreasing which has resulted in a massive increase in solar cell installations.
Most of these installations act as auxiliary power source. A majority of these are
installed in inaccessible locations of home – as close as a rooftop. Hence, they
require sophisticated systems for monitoring of these installations using IoT
technologies. In this project we will discuss a low cost IOT based embedded
Solar Cell Monitoring system which will make use of different analogue
sensors, Wi-Fi module and a low-cost microcontroller to send the data
measured at the production end on the internet, which can then be accessed
through our devices like Laptops or Phones. This will provide us real time
information of the installation which will help us in its maintenance, fault
detection and will give us a record of all the data at fixed intervals.
INTRODUCTION
Internet of things or (IoT) is a revolution in the world of electronics. The idea is
to connect all sensors and devices on a common network i.e., internet through
wired or wireless means so that the user can access the data and control the
devices from Phones with an internet connection. Along with this, the aim is to
automate the process using pre-defined logic to reduce human intervention as
much as possible.
Solar energy is clean, abundant and an easily harnessed form of energy. Solar
energy, although unreliable, is becoming more and more popular with
advancement in technology and decreasing cost. With modern monitoring and
control systems, these are becoming increasingly reliable sources of energy and
in some years, might even replace conventional sources completely.
Power generated from Solar Cell installations is susceptible to changes due to
changes in solar irradiance, temperature, weather conditions and many other
factors. Monitoring of such installations is hence essential. IoT based system is
chosen in order to avoid hazards, while keeping in mind the needs of near
future, where every device will be smart, automated and connected via internet.
The experimental setup of proposed conceptual system consists of Solar Panels,
Voltage-Divider Sensor, Hall-Effect Current Sensor, LM35 Temperature
Sensor, LDR Sensor, ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module and Arduino Uno
Microcontroller. Programming codes are developed on Arduino Software and
visualization of data is done on Node-Red Design. This system is capable of
measuring voltage and current output, ambient temperature, intensity of sun-
light, comparing the data with previous databases and reference values and
raising an alarm via a message in case of an anomaly, and sending the data
over to a website which can be accessed via internet through Phone.
OVERALL SYSTEM DESIGN
The system described in this project is capable of measuring the values of Solar
Cell voltage, current and temperature and sending them over on mobile
networks to the internet for data logging and review by the user. In case of a
deviation from normal specified values of current, voltage or temperature, the
system is also capable of alerting the user via a Phone.
The Solar Cell voltage is sensed by Voltage-Divider circuit. Current is sensed
using Hall Effect Current Sensor. The temperature is sensed using LM35
Temperature Sensor. The data obtained is processed using Arduino Uno
microcontroller and sent as input to the ESP32 Wi-Fi Module. The ESP32 Wi-
Fi Module sends the data over to the internet. A dedicated computer system is
set up to store the data obtained for future reference and review. This data now
can be viewed using an internet connection on a Wi-Fi set up by the ESP32
module.
Schematic diagram of the system is shown below.

PCB DESIGN
WORKING
The major role of this system is to send the data on the internet through
the Wi-Fi Module. First Solar Panel is installed and connected to supply
electrical energy to the home appliances. Different sensors are connected
to the Solar Panel for measuring different values like voltage, current, etc.
Values from various sensors are taken by the Arduino board as analogue
input and it converts the signals into digital and sends to the ESP32 Wi-Fi
Module. The Wi-Fi module can then connect to the internet server and
upload the data in the cloud. Then we can fetch the real-time data on our
phone using Node-Red dashboard and review it. If the Solar Cell is not
producing required amount of voltage and current then the reason can be
harsh weather conditions and if the cell is not producing required voltage
irrespective of good light intensity, the panel is about to fail. In that case
we can be notified through the server that the product needs maintenance
or cleaning. And for maximum efficiency we use servo motor that will
rotate the panel w.r.t the movement of the sun for maximum intensity.
CONCLUSION
As the conventional sources of electricity generation are depleting,
mankind is in need of renewable sources such as solar and wind energy to
sustain itself. The clean and abundant solar energy is a good alternative as
a source of energy with the only problems of cost of harnessing solar
energy, and its variable nature. With technological advancements, cost of
devices is decreasing with a rapid rate. Hence all we need is a good, up-to-
date monitoring system which can perform major tasks automatically
without human intervention and can provide data to the user whenever
and wherever needed.
To cope up with rapidly changing technology, IOT is the best solution for
monitoring of solar installations. IOT based remote monitoring of the
Solar Cell installation and maintenance will also save energy and man-
labour. Because of the use of IOT in this proposed system, there is a large
scope for future work. can add modern devices and sensors without the
fear of compatibility. Flexibility of this system is its uniqueness. Adding
more sensors, it can measure AC voltage and current output, power
consumption of load, solar irradiance and corresponding output of the
solar panels and a lot more.
