Abstract
This study introduces an IoT-enabled solar monitoring and optimization system tailored for industrial applications, aimed at improving the efficiency and reliability of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in response to fluctuating environmental conditions. Utilizing an ATmega328 microcontroller, ESP32 Wi-Fi module, and super-capacitors, the system performs real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and light intensity, with data displayed locally and transmitted to the cloud via Thing Speak. Super-capacitors provide short-term energy storage to stabilize output during power drops, while a relay-based mechanism ensures seamless power switching. The system offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for improving solar energy self-consumption and reducing grid dependence.
