Maintaining the efficiency of solar panels using IoT
Keywords:
solar panel, PV-cleaning, solar tracking, IoT- real time monitoring, efficiency maintenanceAbstract
The efficiency of Solar Photovoltaic panel is affected by various factors such as dust sedimentation, shading, high temperature and damaged PV panels. Hence this paper proposes a system to eliminate the main factors that majorly affects the efficiency of solar panels, thereby maintaining the efficiency of solar panels. Cleaning of panels can considerably increase the efficiency of electricity generated and also increase the durability of Solar panels. The shading problem can be addressed by using solar tracking mechanism. Over heating of PV panels can be reduced by various cooling techniques and damaged PV panels can be identified using real time monitoring. Data collection and cloud computation can be done on that data to provide a better working environment for this proposed system.
