• This requires continuous maintenance and monitoring. However, in case of
weather dependable energy yield change.
• We proposed a novel real-time monitoring system utilizing a small but
efficient articial neural network that is adequate to run on a low-cost system
• To environmental conditions, or is not normal because of faulty, or shaded,
or dust-covered panel, an intelligent monitoring system is required.
• The presented PV monitoring system can identify if the photovoltaic panel

EXISTING SYSTEM
• A low-cost web server using ESP32 for real-time photovoltaic data
collection with manual monitoring from user.
• A system for collecting data from the photovoltaic parks. The data was
collected from the PV park devices, measurement systems in the region of
the park (weather stations) and from data sources accessible on the Internet.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
• Photovoltaic panels system is becoming a popular choice as an alternative
source of energy. To harness reliable energy efficiently, the photovoltaic panels
system must remain in its best condition.
• This system consists of sensor like Temperature Sensor, Dust Sensor and Rain
Sensor. The voltage sensor sense the solar panel voltage value.
• Temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature value
• Dust sensor used for detecting the dust will be high, at same for Rain sensor is
used to measure the rain value and display on LCD Display. Short circuiting in
solar is detected alerted through IOT. The relay operate the water motor for the
motor condition.
• Measured all sensor information updated to IOT.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
• MC Programming Language :Embedded C
• Coding : Arduino IDE 1.8.3
• Simulation :PROTEUS
ARDUINO IDE
• The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) is a cross-
platform application (for Windows, macOS, Linux) that is written in the
programming language Java. It is used to write and upload programs to
Arduino board.
• Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a
sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output
- activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You
can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the
microcontroller on the board
PROTEUS
• Proteus is a simulation and design software tool developed by Labcenter
Electronics for Electrical and Electronic circuit design.
• Proteus's simulation feature. Many of the components in Proteus can be
simulated. There are two options for simulating: Run simulator and
advance frame by frame.
• The "Run simulator" option simulates the circuit in a normal speed (If the
circuit is not heavy). "Advance frame by frame" option advances to next
frame and waits till you click this button for the next time. This can be
useful for debugging digital circuits.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
• ARDUINO UNO
• SOLAR PANEL
• BATTERY
• TEMPERATURE SENSOR
• DUST SENSOR
• RAIN SENSOR
• LCD DISPLAY
• IOT
• WATER MOTOR
BATTERY 12V1.5AH
• The rechargeable backup battery provides power to Finger Tec terminals when the
primary source of power is unavailable. With the right backup battery, your system
won’t have to be interrupted during a power failure.
• A battery charger is a device used to put energy into a cell or (rechargeable) battery
by forcing an electric current through it. Lead-acid battery chargers typically have
two tasks to accomplish. The first is to restore capacity, often as quickly as
practical. The second is to maintain capacity by compensating for self discharge.
ARDUINO
• Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-
use hardware and software.
• Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger
on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output -
activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online.
• You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to
the microcontroller on the board.
• To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on
Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.
Solar panel project
SOLAR PANEL
• A solar panel is a set of solar photovoltaic modules electrically
connected and mounted on a supporting structure. A
photovoltaic module is a packaged, connected assembly
of solar cells. The solar panel can be used as a component of a
larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in
commercial and residential applications.12v 3w panel.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR (DH11)
• A humidity sensor senses, measures and regularly reports the relative
humidity in the air. It measures both moisture and air temperature.
• Relative humidity, expressed as a percent, is the ratio of actual moisture in
the air to the highest amount of moisture air at that temperature can hold.
• The warmer the air is, the more moisture it can hold, so relative humidity
changes with fluctuations in temperature.
RAIN SENSOR
• This module allows you measure moisture via analog output
pins and it provides a digital output when a threshold of
moisture is exceeded.
• The module is based on the LM393 op amp. It includes the
electronics module and a printed circuit board that “collects”
the rain drops.
• As rain drops are collected on the circuit board, they create
paths of parallel resistance that are measured via the op amp.
• The lower the resistance (or the more water), the lower the
voltage output. Conversely, the less water is the greater the
output voltage on the analog pin.
Solar panel project
DUST SENSOR
• Dust Sensor is a simple air monitoring module with onboard Sharp
GP2Y1010AU0F.
• It is capable of detecting fine particle larger than 0.8μm in diameter, even
like the cigarette smoke.
• Analog voltage output of the sensor is linear with dust density.
• The module has embedded voltage boost circuit to support wide range of
power supply.
•
2*16 LCD DISPLAY
 A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or
other electronic visual display that uses the light-modulating
properties of liquid crystals.
 Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.
LCD DISPLAY
WATER MOTOR
• A pump motor is a DC motor device that moves fluids.
• A DC motor converts direct current electrical power into mechanical
power.
• DC or direct current motor works on the principal, when a current carrying
conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque and has a
tendency to move.
• Pumps operate by some mechanism (typically reciprocating or rotary), and
consume energy to perform mechanical work by moving the fluid.
NODE MCU
• NodeMCU is the WiFi equivalent of ethernet module. It combines the
features of WiFi access point and station + microcontroller. These features
make the NodeMCU extremely powerful tool for WiFi networking. It can
be used as access point and/or station, host a web server or connect to
internet to fetch or upload data.
RESULTS
Solar panel project
CONCLUSION
• Solar panels monitoring system is presented with high prediction accuracy.
The hardware design and implementation of the monitoring system on low
cost microcontroller was discussed.
• The monitoring system has the ability of identifying any individual PV
panel that requires maintenance
• The more PV panels are connected to the monitoring system, the lower is
the additional cost per PV panel.
• The monitoring system will a PV panel for maintenance if the predicted
output power for that PV panel, obtained from articial neural network
model.
• The actual output power of that PV panel, obtained from sensors, has a
percentage difference more than 10%.
