• EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is Remote Monitoring System

• Solar remote monitoring is keeping track of your
  solar PV system from the comfort of your computer
  or mobile phone.
• A solar monitoring system informs you of the
  amount of solar energy your solar panels harness,
  your systems conversion efficiency of the solar
  energy to usable power, the energy stored in your
  batteries, and how you consume this power.

What is the need for a remote monitoring
solutions

• It tells you the energy production of your plant
  at any point of time. There is not need for a
  person to visit the site and note the readings or
  to wait till the end of the billing cycle.
• It tells you about any faults or anomaly
  occurring in the solar PV system instantly. This
  saves a whole lot of trouble and cost in
  maintenance activity.
• Advanced monitoring system also tells you if your
  solar PV system is performing at par with the
  benchmark performance. This parameter is commonly
  known as Performance Ration PR.

Benefits of Remote Monitoring Solutions

• Brand Agnostic
• As a solar PV installer, you deal with various
  brands and models of solar panels, inverters,
  energy meters, weather stations and all other
  components used in the solar PV system.
• Instant Anomaly Detection
• A good remote monitoring system provides you with
  ability to receive instant email or SMS alerts in
  case there is something wring with the systems
  installed by you.
• Customised Dashboards
• This is one of the features that allow you to
  monitor and analyse any number of parameters from
  any of your system in your account. For example,
  if your operations maintenance team wish to
  monitor only the fault occurring in your solar PV
  system, this features allows you to create a
  dashboard with only error parameters from all
  your solar PV sites.
• Industry Standard Reports
• A remote monitoring solution collects data of
  your solar PV systems over a long period of time.
  Using that data, it allows you to generate
  Daily/Monthly/Yearly reports for billing purpose
  as well as to keep a track of energy production
  and performance.

CONCLUSION

• The exigency of electricity is rising day by day
  and traditional sources of energy are not
  producing enough energy to meet the requirements.
  We have studied PLC, SCADA, Zigbee, Bluetooth
  etc.
• Applications of monitoring system are in Rooftop
  solar, ground mounted solar, solar cities and
  many more.
• The energy is alternatively depends upon the
  primary parameters like temperature, voltage,
  current and to keep track on all these parameters
  on real time IOT played a vital role through
  ATmega management.
• Results are displayed on LCD as well as on mobile
  devices. User will be able to track, monitor and
  control this panels virtually to maximize
  electricity generation
