ABSTRACT
The solar system inspection is important on regular basis to improve longevity and ensure performance of the solar system. Intelligent monitoring can improve the efficiency of solar panels. This chapter discusses the health monitoring system for solar panel with Cayenne App. The system comprises of +12V/500m, a power supply, NuttyFi, Liquid crystal display (LCD) and UV index sensor, voltage sensor, and current sensor. The sensory information from sensors are sampled and recorded by Arduino. 8051 and NuttyFi/Wi-Fi modem are connected serially. NuttyFi/Wi-Fi modem transfers the sensory data packet to cloud and Cayenne App using Wi-Fi. To connect the system with Wi-Fi network, 8051 and NuttyFi both needs to be programmed separately.
