Renewable energy sources are a practical
solution for addressing the ongoing supply gap in the
power industry. Because of the availability of solar energy
throughout the world, unlike other geographically
restricted resources, solar energy is most beneficial of all
renewable energy resources. Sophisticated frameworks
for remote monitoring of the plant using web-based
interface is required for this massive scale of solar system
deployment. Since the greater part of them are set in
areas that are inaccessible and therefore monitoring them
is not possible from a specific location. Internet of Things
(IoT) enables the objects to be detected and remotely
controlled by an established infrastructure of a network,
creating possibilities for the pure physical-environment
integration into frameworks that are based on computers.
Application of IoT is proving beneficial for monitoring
renewable energy generation. This application of IoT uses
system based on Arduino to monitor parameters of the
solar panel. The solar panel is monitored by the system
continuously and the power output is transmitted over the
internet to the IoT Network. It now uses an effective
Interface to display these solar panel parameters to the
user and it also alerts user when the outcome falls
underneath the cut-off points specified. This makes,
distantly monitoring of solar power plants more
convenient and the best output of power is guaranteed.
