Abstract

Solar power plants need to be monitored for efficient power output. This aids in when restoring optimum energy output from power generation while being on the lookout for concerns such as defective solar panels, damaged connections, and dust accumulation on panels that reduce performance. Here, we propose an automated Internet of Things-based system for monitoring solar and wind power that provides automatic power monitoring from anywhere over the Internet. This system automatically detects the solar panel's output and sends information via the internet to an IOT system. Here, we used an IOT platform to send energy-generating parameters to an IOT platform server via the Internet. IoT-based controllers are the key components of the framework. This will promote preventative assistance, identification of the cause, and a true inspection of the plant that can sustain ongoing assessment.

Nowadays, the frameworks for sustainable energy sources are emerging as the best way to produce power. As technology advances, the cost of sustainable energy source equipment is decreasing overall, enabling large-scale solar-powered photovoltaic setups. We developed a model for the use of a practical IoT strategy to screen a sun-oriented evaluation of the performance of a solar and wind power system with open-source resources and tools like Arduino and Ubidots. A SaaS (Software as a Service) platform called Ubidots gives a web-based area for tracking the generating parameters. Ubidots offers all services at lower charges, saving you money on website planning and maintenance. We concentrated on creating a system that required the least amount of effort and had an easy-to-use interface so that regular people could install rooftop solar-powered plants and screens without relying on organisations that provide administrative support.
