Solar Energy Measurement System Using Arduino Code

In this proposed system a solar panel is employed to keep monitoring the sunlight.

Solar energy measurement system using arduino code.

In june 2015 we got our 1kw solar panel system installed. Here different factors of the solar panel namely the intensity of light current voltage and the temperature are monitored. Net metering means that we get paid for energy that we send back into the public network. Voltage is measured by the help of a voltage divider circuit as the arduino analog pin input voltage is restricted to 5v i designed the voltage divider in such a way that the output voltage from it should be less than 5v my battery used for storing the power from the solar panel is rated 6v 5 5ah so i have to step down this 6 5v to a voltage lower than 5v.

Current sensor is used to measure current flowing to load from solar panel. But if we want to measure more than 5 volts then we have to use some additional circuitry like voltage divider. Solar energy measurement system block diagram. I just have an idea that stepper motor is give to arduino solar panel connected to stepper motor for solar tracking next the solar panel power has to be measured.

Sir can give any suggestions regarding how i measure solar power by using arduino uno current sensor variable resistors and i also want to do solar tracking for that iam using stepper motor i dont know how to connect the circuit. The aim of this solar energy measurement system project is to calculate solar cell factors through numerous sensor data acquisition. It is an on grid system so excessive energy is send back into the public network. Voltage measurement of the solar panel is very easy which is up to 5 volts.

At the right side of the diagram is a solar panel which energy you want to measure. In this research four parameters that been measured are temperature light intensity voltage and current. We started the process with the local energy supplier meralco to get registered for net metering. This project aims to develop a measurement of solar energy using arduino board technology.
