Abstract

This paper presents a prototype for the energy management of a solar panel system, which efficiently controls the load in different ways. The prototype consists of a 10-watt solar panel, a 12V 8Ah battery, charge controllers, relays, and sensors for detecting various parameters. The IoT platform used in this system is Adafruit, which receives all the required parameters and controlling options. The necessary parameters that are monitored in real-time include the solar panel output voltage, battery voltage, battery current, and the status of the main power supply. The controlling options include the main supply and the pump for panel cleaning. By monitoring the data in real-time, the operator can evaluate the current state of the system and make immediate decisions if necessary. This system can be improved further by learning from the recorded data. The system's efficiency can be enhanced by analyzing the recorded data and making necessary adjustments to the system. This prototype demonstrates the potential for using solar energy and IoT technologies in managing energy systems more efficiently.
