Project Summary

Renewable energy production is the top priority of everyone. Now a days due to the high energy demand, the use of solar panels increases as compared to the previous years. The increase in demand different Companies appears in production for PV module. Due to Poor quality control and race for cost reductions creating different problems in Modules. Different grades and degradation with passage of time of PV modules, consumers are facing problems regarding health and optimizing of output efficiency.

Project Objectives

• This Project will helps us to monitor Solar panels health and improve the Output efficiency.
• The Hardware will enable user to predict the fault in PV module
• The Communication Centre of Hardware will enable User to store and analyze data for specific time period.

Project Implementation Method

The monitoring system will consist of different hardware components integrated with web based application. All the data can be seen over the internet from anywhere in the world. This monitoring system will consist of following items:

1. Microcontroller (Arduino Mega or Uno)  / Intelligent Computer ( Raspberry Pi )
2. Op-Amp Circuit
3. Thermistors
4. Servos
5. Solar Panel
6. LED’s
7. LDR
8. Diodes
9. Transistors
10. Wires
11. Software Designing

Benefits of the Project

1- This System will enable User / Energy Production Units to predict the generation of Energy in coming days.

2- This will also indicate fault in PV System and let the user to find the specific faulty PV module

3- The system will have an optimizing tool which enable user to optimize the energy production.

4-  The system will also enable user to analyze the data for specific time period (If needed)
