Real-Time Data Acquisition Based on IoT for Monitoring Autonomous Photovoltaic Systems

Technological development has made photovoltaic systems more accessible for applications in domestic self-generation microsystems. In this context, new monitoring techniques are necessary to visualize the operating status of photovoltaic systems components. The main objective of this work is to monitor the operation status of a photovoltaic system through remote measurements in real-time using IoT technology. The study used IoT technology for the remote acquisition of principal elements of a photovoltaic system data to show them in time series through a graphical interface. The study resulted in a real-time remote monitoring system that allows the observation of photovoltaic system variables. The study concludes that through IoT technology, complex real-time monitoring systems of photovoltaic system operating variables can be configured to store them in a database that allows the visualization and analysis of historical data behavior of photovoltaic systems.
