Comparison of the IoT Based Modules for Solar PV Environment: A Review

The global era is experiencing a shift in the utilization of energy resources. In this race for exploration, solar energy is racing ahead of several energy resources due to several factors. Hence energy as well as the parameters of solar Photovoltaic (PV) system needs to be carefully monitored. This paper investigates various Internet of Things (IoT) based electronic modules for data processing being utilized in monitoring the parameters (Electrical and Environmental) for solar PV system. Each technology is discussed in detail along with its introduction, design aspects, communication and limitation. Moreover, the paper discussed some common aspects of each IoT based module such as data handling, size and cost etc. and finally recommendation is mentioned based on given review done.
