Solar Panel and Main Line Distribution System Control and Monitoring with IOT

Abstract

Abstract: Energy plays a pivotal role in our daily activities. The degree of development and civilization of a country ismeasured by the amount of utilization of energy by human beings. Energy demand is increasing day by day due to increase in population, urbanization and industrialization. The rate of energy consumption is increasing; supply is depleting resulting in inflation and energy shortage. The biggest crisis we are handling into is the climate change due to excessive use of fossil fuels and to overcome these issues, we have only one solution that is utilizing renewable Energy. One of the most prominent kinds of renewable energy issolar energy. The goal of this thesis was to develop a laboratory prototype of a solar tracking system, which is able to enhance the performance of the photovoltaic modules in a solar energy system. The operating principle of the device is to keep the photovoltaic modules constantly aligned with the sunbeams, which maximizes the exposure of solar panel to the Sun’s radiation. As a result, more output power can be produced bythe solar panel.
