 INTRODUCTION
Our project addresses the need for efficient solar photovoltaic
systems by proposing a remote monitoring solution via IoT and
microcontrollers, optimizing performance and implementing sun
tracking for maximum energy absorption. Leveraging Arduino
Uno and wireless sensors, this initiative introduces a cost-
effective method to remotely monitor and control solar panels
globally, addressing the challenge of inaccessible locations and
underutilization. With a focus on internet connectivity and smart
technology, we aim to revolutionize solar energy utilization and
efficiency.

FLOWCHART
 The system is designed to
WORKING actively monitor various
parameters of solar panels,
including voltage, current, and
generated power. This data is
transmitted and updated on a
web server, allowing users to
monitor these metrics from any
location with internet access.
The voltage divider circuit,
integrated into the system,
regulates the solar panel's
voltage output, ensuring it
remains within safe and
operable limits for the
connected components. The
rectifier and filter unit play a
crucial role in converting the
solar panel's DC output into a
more stable form for utilization
by the system. These
components help stabilize the
power input for smooth
operations.
The 16x2 LCD serves as the
output display, presenting
crucial information such as
voltage, current, and power
generated. It offers a real-time
view of the solar panel's
performance. The DC motor,
controlled by the system,
adjusts the panel's position
according to the data received
from sensors, ensuring optimal
exposure to sunlight. The relay
serves as the switch, allowing
the controller to control the
motor's rotation and alignment
for maximum efficiency..
 The step-down transformer
WORKING (230/15v) regulates the power
supply, ensuring the system
receives the appropriate
voltage for operation. The solar
panel, with its 10W capacity,
serves as the primary power
source, converting solar energy
into electrical power. Together,
these components create a
sophisticated system that
optimizes solar panel
performance, enabling efficient
energy production and remote
monitoring through a
comprehensive array of
interconnected hardware.
The system's core is the
Arduino Uno, acting as the
central controller, interfacing
with various components to
manage the solar panel's
performance. It receives data
from sensors and processes it
for further action. The ESP8266
WiFi Modem facilitates
connectivity, enabling data
transmission to the cloud
server. It ensures remote
monitoring and data storage,
essential for real-time analysis
and historical performance
tracking.
 CONCLUSION
The proposed system stores the data from the solar photovoltaic system
continuously, so it keeps track of the solar photovoltaic system and daily or
monthly analysis becomes easy and efficient.
Using the analysis it is possible to detect any fault occurring in the system as
there would be inconsistency in the data generated by the system. By solar
tracking the solar panel is operated at its maximum efficiency all day.
 FUTURE SCOPE
The controller requires an external supply to work but using the power generated
from solar panel itself the controller's input power supply can be met. For very
large solar panel dual axis solar panel tracking can be done. By analysing the data
it is possible to predict the future values of parameters.
Artificial intelligence can be implemented using various machine learning
algorithms so that the system can become smart enough to take decisions about
data and performance.
