 ABSTRACT

The internet of things has a vision in which the internet extends into the real world, which
incorporates everyday objects. The IOT allows objects to be sensed or controlled
remotely over existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for pure integration
of the physical world into computer-based system, and resulting in improved efficiency,
accuracy and economic benefit in addition to reduced human intervention. This
technology has many applications like solar cities, smart villages, micro grid and solar
street lights and so on. As renewable energy grew at a faster rate than any other time in
history during this period. The proposed system refers to the online display of the power
usage of solar energy as a renewable energy. This monitoring is done through raspberry
pi using flask framework. Smart monitoring displays daily usage of renewable energy.
This helps the user to analysis of energy usage. Analysis impact on the renewable energy
usage and electricity usage.
