Abstract:
This paper describes about the analysis and online monitoring of photovoltaic system. This method gives a
solution for the solar panels to get the maximum power and for effective utilization. The hardware is
developed for PV array and various parameters like voltage, current, power(for both DC and AC), energy
is measured. The system is connected to the controlling which monitoringthe solar panels functional
working. PIC MCU is used as a controller. By incorporating the IOT technology the data received from
the system are send to the cloud, from through internet the user can monitor the parameters. Thus, the
main objective of the monitoring system is to ensure that solar panels operate smoothly and to easily
detect critical problems.
Keywords — Internet of Things (IOT), PV, SolarPanel, PIC MCU.

I. INTRODUCTION
Power generation are spreaded over India among
the government departments that lead to many
losses. Because of consuming more power by some
others than they need this leads to loss of more
power. There is no more alternative source
available for producing an electricity in large
amount. One of the top source available is sunlight
with which we can take natural power for our daily
life.
Solar power plants convert the solar energy into
solar electricity. The sun is the largest source of
energy in the form of heat and light energy. Solar
Power has a high potential to make a more impact
on the electricity requirements in home appliances
and industries. That the sun gives as much energy
onto the earth in one day that equals the annual
energy requirement is enough to judge the amount
of solar energy that goes untapped. It can be used
to supply electricity to homes, commercial settings
and so on.
In this project we have a solar panel for creating
electricity from sunlight. The solar panel consists of
an array of PV cells. Photovoltaic cells are
connected electrically in series or parallel circuits to
produce higher voltages, electricity and power
levels. Photovoltaic modules consist of PV cell
circuits sealed in an environmentally protective
laminate, andare the fundamental building blocks
of PV systems. Photovoltaic panels include one or
more PV modules assembled as a pre-wired, field-
installable unit.
A photovoltaic array is the complete power-
generating unit, consisting of many number of PV
modules and panels.The amount of current or
voltage produced from solar panel is taken
readingwhich is in the form of DC . This
information is transformed to microcontroller. The
power generated can be used for initiating some
loads in home; the obtained power is converted to
AC by an inverter. After converting the amount of
current/ voltage is measured and given to
microcontroller. The microcontroller in turn
displays the amount of current and voltage
produced from solar panel. It also display the
power and energy consumed. Finally the acquired
power can be used for another types of loads
