Abstract: Solar photovoltaic (PV) plants must be constantly protected and supervised to keep them safe and reliable during their working lifetime. Incorporating smart technological equipment including artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) for remote sensing, fault detection and diagnosing PV plants can help these plants achieve peak efficiency. While renewable energy appears to be thriving globally, its intermittent nature creates a need to develop solutions for ensuring grid stability.The output of solar panels is influenced by a variety of environmental factors such as the amount of solar radiation, proportion of shadow, weather conditions and so on. Constantly monitoring these variables, particularly for off-grid and remote solar energy plants is a tedious task.
