Fault Detection of Solar Panel Using IOT
Each solar panel is connected to a current sensor if a fault occurs due to cracks on the surface of the panel then the current values in the damaged panel gets varied. This information is obtained with the help of current sensor. Then these values are sent to the monitoring center through WI-FI module.
Increase in population increases the power demand. Solar is one of the natural resources used for generation of electricity. Solar panels are used for generation. If any scratch or small damage occurs in the panel then it will cause degradation in output. To improve the energy efficiency the damages should be detected. For deducting the damages various techniques had been used but they are time consuming process and are of high cost. This project proposes that whenever fault is occurred it is automatically detected with the help of internet of things.
