Realtime Monitoring Design of Solar Cell Power Plant Based on IoT

Abstract

Solar panels are electricity generators by utilize sunlight. Monitoring of electrical energy produced by solar cells is needed by consumers to find out how much power is produced. Previously, monitoring was done by looking at the voltmeter and ampere meter indications. This study was designed a prototype to monitor current, voltage, and light intensity through the Arduino Uno-based internet network. For the solar system panels, AC and DC current and voltage sensors are used, as well as calibrated light sensors, then a data transmission system integrated into the Blynk application, designing an Arduino Uno microcontroller-based system with the Blynk application on a Smartphone via a wi-fi communication module (esp8266). Parameters DC current and connection, AC current and connection. The highest light intensity is obtained at PLTS when exposed to sunlight and load at 02:30 and the lowest is at 09:30 due to weather. The results obtained are measurements from each sensor, used directly and displayed on the Blynk Application, monitored remotely from the internet network.
