IOTBasedSolar Panel Fault Monitoring And Control By Using Wi-Fi Modem

Abstract

For solar power plants to provide the most electricity, they
 must be monitored. This aids in recovering efficient power
 production from power plants while keeping an eye out for
 problems that might impair solar performance, such as
 damaged solar panels, connections, dust buildup on panels that
 reduces output, and other similar problems. In order to identify
 problem locations, this project proposes a hardware design for
 a smart grid home gateway that combines a smart home
 network with solar system integration for PV. Thus, we
 suggest an Internet of Things (IoT)-based automated solar
 power monitoring system that enables automatic solar power
 monitoring from any location over the internet. This project
 uses an Arduino-based system that incorporates PT, CT, and
 LDR sensors to measure parameters and keep an eye on the
 solar panel. By comparing the voltage recorded by the panel
 with the intensity of the LDR sensor, the fault has been
 identified. Our technology continuously checks the solar panel
 and sends the power output to the Internet of Things system.
