Smart Remote Solar Power Monitoring System For Real Savings

A remote solar power monitoring system to track all solar data remotely, by connecting assets, all in one place.

Features

Project Highlights

The solar power panels need to be watched carefully. Our client wanted a solution where all the energy generation-related parameters could be visualized and monitored remotely in a user-friendly graphical interface.
PsiBorg understood the assignment and proposed to develop a remote solar power monitoring system where the smart device would receive the data from the connected equipment through ModBus and send it to the cloud. The device can also receive commands from the user and control its functionality.
Our team designed and developed a solar monitoring dashboard that provides real-time insight into the performance of solar panels. We designed the dashboard, which included two panels- an admin panel and a user panel.
The dashboard offers detailed analytics of data like energy production, IoT electricity consumption, and various other relevant metrics. This way, through our IoT based solar power monitoring system, remote observation of panels, became possible, and it also led to labor-saving maintenance.

About the Project

Our client in this case study is a company that generates and trades solar panel systems to commercial, and industrial customers.
They faced the challenge of monitoring and controlling electricity consumption as well as optimizing solar energy production.

With the list of requirements, they presented us with their idea of having a platform that allows them and their customers to effectively monitor and manage solar energy, along with several other parameters, and helps them harness its full potential.

Today, IoT is the most fitting solution that can make possible live remote solar power monitoring. Plus, an IoT solar power monitoring system is also practically profitable.

So, PsiBorg Technologies designed and developed a remote solar power monitoring system to set up remote maintenance and initiate predictive maintenance using IoT that will bring down the overall solar panel installation and monitoring cost.

Challenges

The major challenge faced by the client was the high maintenance cost. Besides, it is also an exhausting task to control solar power generation, as the output fluctuates a lot based on the weather conditions and the amount of dirt and debris accumulated on the panel.

This type of concern requires the development of a customised solution that solves the problem of monitoring and controlling the amount of electricity generated by each individual solar panel.

Moreover, the challenge our team faced was to optimize the data display speed, as a large amount of data needed to be processed and displayed on the front end. We overcame this challenge by reducing the frequency of data collection

Plus, the team also got stuck in the complicated calculations for energy production. So we conducted a thorough analysis and corrected the formulas.

Our Innovative Solution:

Our solution was to design a remote solar power monitoring system that is light on pocket, sturdy, supports wireless communication, and supports managing and optimizing solar energy production.

The solar remote monitoring system allows users to monitor their solar energy consumption and production.

We divided and delivered the project into multiple phases. In phase Ⅰ, we connected the hardware device to the internet over a Wi-Fi web dashboard with user control through admin, sub-admin, and user panels.

Our team developed a remote solar power monitoring system that will collect data from several points.
For instance, data from energy meters, inverters, weather stations, and solar stations.

This collected data begins its journey as it is transferred from the source to the cloud server.

On the server side, the collected data is segregated according to the users, and the users can visualize the collected data on the dashboard in the form of graphs and comparison tables.
In addition, the dashboard will allow users to control or set limits to the device remotely.

A highly detailed graph was created that displayed data for various time intervals (an hour, a week, and so on).

Our team made sure to make the platform highly scalable so that it can handle the increasing number of users and devices.

The end solution was a remote solar power monitoring system dashboard that was easy to use, even for those who are new to technology.

Dashboard Features

The list of features that we integrated in the admin and user dashboard panels are as follows:

Admin Panel

Overview of live data on all active sites
Data table access to check all site status
Access to control each device and user remotely
Authority to turn on/off inverters remotely
Functionality to connect/disconnect grids remotely
Get notifications and alerts on every fault

User Panel

Overview of live data of their specific active devices
Detailed data of each installed device and system
Performance card to check and control devices remotely right through the phone.
Access to observe battery charging and discharging status.
Get notifications and alerts in case faults are detected.

Result

The implementation of a remote solar power monitoring system not only made the monitoring process smoother but also reduced the overall operational cost.

Our designers and development team worked closely together to bring the concept to reality

The team faced some challenges while delivering the project, but our expertise and problem-solving skills allowed us to overcome them and deliver the best possible solution to our client.

Before deploying the solution, we conducted thorough testing at various levels and fixed all the bugs.
The solution was developed by keeping in mind the interconnected roles, like the end-users, sub-admins, installers, and admins. We made sure that all parties had easy access to the information they needed.

We finally deployed the solution, and it was a huge success for the team.

To sum up, at PsiBorg we always work to meet the growing industry’s demand. Our skilled and experienced team never misses an opportunity to add a dash of newness and originality to all IoT projects.

Choose PsiBorg for your IoT project, as this is the place where you will get the best with ease.
