    IoT based Smart Monitoring and Power Optimization of Individual Solar Panel using Wireless Sensor Network
    (Library Information Services, CUI Lahore, 2023) HASNAIN MUAVIAH; FA18-BCE-044
    Currently in most of the large-scale solar power production systems, only aggregated power of solar panels is acquired and monitored. There is a need to individually monitor each solar panel to optimize its efficiency. Therefore, power generated from solar panels is acquired and monitored individually. The power is then managed and optimized to maximize solar power generation. Generally, solar plants are built at locations which people can’t visit on daily basis. Hence this approach will help them to virtually monitor their systems from faraway places. Our system will monitor each panel load by using the IoT based wireless sensor network and manage the data which is received from each panel, send it to cloud through internet and ultimately be displayed on mobile application. It also helps the remote users to monitor the large-scale solar farm’s individual and combined energy production. The user can get relative information about the current, temperature, light intensity, humidity and dust of the solar panels using sensors, aggregate it on a wireless sensor gateway and send it to an online database. This will help the user to detect fault in any of these panels and adapt timely preventive measures for the maintenance of the solar panel. We have used a mobile application and Internet of thing (IoT) to monitor the solar power. This system is designed to solve the problems that occur in efficient solar power generation, like management of panels by detecting the faulty panel, maintenance of the faulty panel and to reduce the time it takes to get repaired. By using this technology, the production cost of solar energy will be reduced. This also provides real time data to the user which helps them to monitor the system with high accuracy. The main purpose of this project is to monitor each solar panel individually and efficiently
