Rancang Bangun Alat Monitoring Pada Panel Surya Berbasis IoT

Abstract

The use of solar panels currently in Indonesia has begun to be widely used, this is a positive change where people are starting to turn to environmentally friendly energy. With the current condition of Indonesia which is doing a lot of development. But there will be a problem if the solar cell will be exposed to dust and can make the performance in solar panel will decrease. So with this research can improve the performance of solar cells that deteriorate because of exposure to dust. The dust can be cleaned automatically so the solar cell doesn’t need to be cleaned manually. This research was carried out using the ARDUINO UNO microcontroller, where using this microcontroller will get data on how much current, voltage and power percentage on the battery will be displayed by android.
