Abstract

This project discusses about the energy monitoring for solar system. Nowadays the need of green energy becomes one of a development campaign all around the world. Despite other source of energy, solar energy is used widely for standard voltage and current especially house or any simple appliances. Solar panels that absorb the sun's power to generate electricity provide clean power for homes, communities and businesses, and help cut the carbon emissions. Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules generate electricity from sunlight, which can be fed into the mains electricity supply of a building or sold to the public electricity grid. Reducing the need for fossil fuel generation, the growing grid-connected solar PV sector across the globe is helping create jobs, enabling families and businesses to save money, and cut greenhouse emissions. This project aims to develop a solar energy monitoring system hardware by using Internet of things (IoT). The control protocol for energy monitoring system is designed in order to measure the real-time state-of-charge (SOC) of the battery through IoT facility. Through this facility, the effect of solar irradiance towards state-of-charge of the battery can be observed and analyzed. In the methodology, the use of IoT technology with help of Arduino microcontroller and android apps is needed so that the combination of the new technology can be replaced by GSM system.
