Keywords: Renewable energy is the most dependable and universally acknowledged way of meeting the world’s expanding
Solar forecasting energy needs. In order to optimize solar energy generation, particular focus must be paid to both application and
IoT maintenance. IoT-based solar monitoring system proposals have been made in order to collect and analyze solar

primary objective is to maximize the economical utilization of renewable resources without sacrificing overall

energy efficiency. In areas where energy use is strongly reliant on the grid, an intelligent energy management
system may effectively regulate energy usage. With cloud computing, the opportunities and problems driven out
by growing energy grids may be successfully handled.
This study examines the role that energy management systems play in both research and practical industrial
practises, acknowledging both as stakeholders in this undertaking. The research investigation closely looks at a
number of IoT-related topics in relation to solar energy production. In addition to providing guidance for up­
coming academics in the field, it also lists possible future uses for IoT, inspiring them to further the field’s present
understanding and provide new ideas. Providing a thorough analysis of energy management in smart archi­
tecture is the purpose.

4. Communication technologies of IoT

The landscape of communication technologies in the Internet of


Things (IoT) is intricately linked with the dynamic selection of suitable
protocols for contemporary applications (see Fig. 18). This selection is
predominantly driven by commodity-based considerations and extends
to IoT-related network systems in Table 4. The primary data commu­

[131–135]. This figure serves as a comprehensive guide, outlining the
diverse communication technologies that underpin the connectivity and
data exchange within the IoT ecosystem as in Fig. 21(see Fig. 20).
The predominant techniques of data communication in IoT are
categorized into four distinct divisions, as detailed in Table 7 (see
