Weather monitoring system for a PV application on the IoT platform
Keywords:
PV system, IOT, ESP8266, Weather MonitoringAbstract
Currently, the use of photovoltaic (PV) systems on roofs is increasing due to incentives from governments, leading to the need to monitor system parameters as well as weather factors affecting the PV system. This paper describes the deployment build weather monitoring systems including ambient temperature, surface temperature of photovoltaic panels and intensity of solar radiation on the Internet of Things (IoT) platform. The main device of the monitoring system is the NodeMcu WiFi module based on the ESP8266 microcontroller, all the signals read from the sensor will be transmitted via Wi-Fi by the ESP8266 and uploaded to the Thingspeak IoT platform where the data is Data will be stored, processed and used for monitoring.
