Remote Monitoring and Control of Photovoltaic Energy Production by Arduino-Gsm Sim900

Abstract

The monitoring system is a key element in any energy production installation, making it possible to monitor operating parameters in real time and optimize production. In this article, we present a model of a monitoring system based on the Arduino microcontroller and the GSM module, compatible with any type of solar installation. Our monitoring system uses current, voltage and temperature sensors to measure the operating parameters of a photovoltaic system. We simulated the operation of this system using Proteus software, and the simulation results demonstrated the correct operation of our model. Based on these results, we created a prototype of our monitoring system. The latter is capable of sending measured operating parameters as SMS notifications to a smartphone, thus enabling real-time remote monitoring.
