Design and implementation of a real-time monitoring system for solar photovoltaic systems

Abstract

The aim of this project is to implement a comprehensive real-time monitoring system for solar Photovoltaic systems. The system measures important parameters such as light intensity, temperature, humidity, current, and voltage using various sensors. The ESP32 microcontroller collects the data from the sensors and transfers them to the Blynk platform, while also providing customers with an easy-to-use interface for remote monitoring. There is also an option for local monitoring. Furthermore, GSM connectivity enables real-time SMS alerts for problematic circumstances. The economic study highlights the project's feasibility by highlighting higher energy production, improved system reliability, and competitive benefits. This innovative approach supports the growth of renewable energy initiatives and promotes environmental care, all of which are goals of sustainability.
