Solar Energy Measurement System Using Arduino Code

It is an on grid system so excessive energy is send back into the public network.

Solar energy measurement system using arduino code.

The aim of this solar energy measurement system project is to calculate solar cell factors through numerous sensor data acquisition. Solar energy measurement system block diagram. In this proposed system a solar panel is employed to keep monitoring the sunlight. We started the process with the local energy supplier meralco to get registered for net metering.

Block diagram of arduino based solar panel electrical parameters monitor. Voltage measurement of the solar panel is very easy which is up to 5 volts. At the right side of the diagram is a solar panel which energy you want to measure. But if we want to measure more than 5 volts then we have to use some additional circuitry like voltage divider.

Voltage is measured by the help of a voltage divider circuit as the arduino analog pin input voltage is restricted to 5v i designed the voltage divider in such a way that the output voltage from it should be less than 5v my battery used for storing the power from the solar panel is rated 6v 5 5ah so i have to step down this 6 5v to a voltage lower than 5v. I just have an idea that stepper motor is give to arduino solar panel connected to stepper motor for solar tracking next the solar panel power has to be measured. In this research four parameters that been measured are temperature light intensity voltage and current. Sir can give any suggestions regarding how i measure solar power by using arduino uno current sensor variable resistors and i also want to do solar tracking for that iam using stepper motor i dont know how to connect the circuit.

As we know solar panels are dc power sources. Here different factors of the solar panel namely the intensity of light current voltage and the temperature are monitored. This project aims to develop a measurement of solar energy using arduino board technology. Voltage sensor is used to measure a voltage of solar panel.
