Abstract

Due to modern technology, solar energy has lately expanded in scope and is one of the most promising renewable energy sources. This project is intended to implement the Solar Charging Monitoring System using Arduino Uno for lighting applications. Furthermore, to fabricate Charging Monitoring Systems using Solar Panel, Arduino Uno and Solar Charge Controller. The final purpose is to evaluate the performance of Solar Charging Monitoring System using experimental setup and data measurements. Additionally, the microcontroller in this system is an Arduino UNO, which is interfaced with an ESP8266 to display and monitor voltage and current data from a solar panel in real time on an LCD and through the Blynk application. Moreover, this system uses a solar charge controller to manage the voltage and current from the solar panel to the battery, preventing overcharging. The LDR sensor module enhances the system's capacity to adapt to change environmental factors, which allows it to regulate the LED light's on/off status. From the results, the solar panel specs are precise and acceptable, and the system's lifespan may be extended, according to parameter values obtained from data measurements.Other than that, having a solar charge controller increases the battery’s lifetime and safety by ensuring effective voltage and current regulation to avoid overcharging the battery. In conclusion, the proposed system successfully maximises solar charging for lighting applications, providing a long-term, remotely monitored option for increased dependability and energy efficiency.
