Solar Panel Prevention and Maintenance Indication Using IOT-Based MPPT System

Energy is absolutely crucial to the functioning of our modern society. Because of the limited reserves and negative impact on the environment, finding a replacement for conventional fuel or reducing its continuous consumption is crucial and essential. The functions of this IoT are sensor-based maintenance indication of solar panels and protection against theft. When dust accumulates on a solar panel, it reduces its efficiency. To solve this issue, an IoT-based maintenance warning system is implemented using a sensor placed in a strategic location, with an accompanying Android application designed to deter theft. A solar cell equipped with an MPPT (Maximum power point Tracking) technology is used to draw the most energy possible from the sun. Since this resistor detects light, the system's efficiency will improve. This preliminary model can be generalized to cover a wider range of systems.
