An Iot Based Monitoring System For Single Phase Grid Connected Photovoltaic System

Abstract

The increasing adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems for clean and renewable energy generation necessitates effective monitoring and control solutions. In this paper, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT) based monitoring system specifically designed for single-phase grid-connected PV systems. Here a low cost simple IoT based monitoring system using Arduino Mega 2560 controller and ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module along with various sensors is designed and the parameters is monitored on IoT Cloud platform ThingSpeak. The system uses IoT technologies to collect real-time data from PV panels, inverters, and grid interfaces, enabling comprehensive performance analysis, fault detection, and energy optimization. The remote monitoring and control capabilities of the system enhance maintenance efficiency and overall energy yield. Through case studies and performance evaluations, we demonstrate the system's effectiveness in improving PV system performance and fault detection accuracy. The proposed IoT-based monitoring system contributes to the efficient management and maintenance of single-phase grid-connected PV systems, paving the way for enhanced energy efficiency and cost savings.
