IoT-Enabled Smart Monitoring and Maintenance System for Renewable Solar Energy

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for overseeing solar power generation significantly enhances plant performance, monitoring, and maintenance capabilities. As renewable energy equipment costs decline globally, it promotes the widespread adoption of large-scale solar plant installations. Given the vast deployment of these solar systems in remote and inaccessible locations, there is a growing need for sophisticated automation systems to remotely monitor plants through app-based interfaces. This project focuses on implementing a new, cost-effective IoT-based methodology to remotely monitor solar plants for performance evaluation. This approach facilitates real-time monitoring, preventive maintenance, fault detection, historical analysis, and enhances overall operational efficiency.
